| Bro. Brown,
This is not a personal issue with Bro. David, it is a lesson in truth. How will he ever be a Freemason if he avoids the truth and merely accepts whatever he is told. To be a Freemason is to separate fact from fiction; or as the founders would have put it: to separate Imaginatio from Ratio (Imagination from Reason).
I suspect that Bro. David avoids answering the difficult questions put to him because he doesn't know the answers. Instead of avoiding the questions he should seek-out the answers. The truth is never popular in any age, and that is why Freemasonry was and still remains a secret. To know the truth and to speak it is a dangerous affair indeed.
There is also the possibility that he doesn't care about the truth and simply wishes to remain in the dark. The "Light" is sometimes quite painful and one must have great fortitude to lift the veil that obscures it from sight. |
