These are three principles that when consciously practiced on a daily basis are truly transformative. They are the principles that teach us how to give to others, and how we must change in order to become better men. They are at the core of masonry, and force us to change, and see the world in a different mode and manner: Brotherly love induces us to regard the whole human species as one family. This tenet tells us that we can't be selective in who we like and dislike; we can not like the Christian and hate the Muslim. We can not envy the rich and look down upon the poor. For we are all created by one almighty parent, and all must be treated equally. Relief - To relieve the distressed is a duty incumbent upon all men but particurely among masons. This tenet tells us that we absolutely must help those less fortunate than ourselves or who are downtrodden, for in giving of ourselves do we truly learn how to receive. This tenet should be practiced, especially during these trying times of economic hardship when so many have so little. Truth is a divine attribute and the foundation of every virtue. Without truth there can be no other virtues. Everything else becomes a house of cards that is easily destroyed by the merest whisper of the wind. This is the foundation upon which all other virtues are erected, and come from. For when we can look ourselves squarely in the mirror can we stand upright in our several stations before God and man. "Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth." ― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sincerely & Fraternally, Gary E.
