Random Building Thoughts - 2023-04-13

 

-------------- BE REASONABLE --------------  
 
 
You cannot Reasonably Expect 
Improvement in Yourself 
and the Society in General 
when you Purposefully Substitute 
the Actual Improvement Work 
with Titles for Just Showing Up.
 
-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION -------------- 
 
 
-------------- NO MOPE! -------------- 
 

FILED UNDER: Don't M.O.P.E.!
 
Masonry's Osmotic Principle Exemplified (M.O.P.E.)
 
Surrounding yourself with good men 
believing that, by just being in their presence, 
you will absorb some of their goodness into your manner.
 
-------------- GRAVES --------------  
 
 

Masonic Secrets are so well Hidden 
that many Brothers go to their graves 
never realizing that they missed seeing them, 
too often right before their eyes.
  
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 

Vices and Superfluities 
are but a few of the impurities 
that prevent Cement from tempering properly. 
Divestment of them is one of many reasons 
the Apprentice Work is necessary 
before Masons are encouraged to lift their Trowels.

You shall know 
when a man has taken upon himself 
an Obligation to improve himself 
to the best of his ability; 
he is a Mason. 
 
You shall also know 
when a man has merely stated
 that he has taken such an Obligation 
upon himself 
and has changed nothing in his manner 
showing that he is honoring and abiding by it. 
 
What would you call such a man?
  
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
 
-------------- REMAIN CIVIL & DECENT --------------  
 

 It shall not be by lack of Knowledge 
that Civilization fails. 
It shall by the deliberate ignore-ance 
of the Civility and Decency that Builds it.
 
-------------- INNOVATION? --------------  
 

What?! No Innovations?!?!
 
For Further Light:
NO

 
-------------- RASCALS --------------  
 
 
 Are men just Little Rascals?!
 
For Further Light:
  
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
