Well obviously you all missed my last post discussing the values of secrecy.
Take America for example.
The "Truth" is god created man equal, and we have certain inaliable rights that Man must uphold, that Governments must uphold, because of this.
Our government was awesome, the Citizens even better, Freedom under the law for those to whom it applied, was unseen in all the world before. Because
of that truth.
But it's not a respected truth, because it's not "hush hush", it's in plain site, for people to take for granted.
Now look at today.
Atheists trying to prevent people from praying, and from the word God from being spoken ever.
Homosexuals trying to redefine the definition of Marriage which has been the same in every society for over 8000 years, marriage is between a man and
a woman.
Druggies trying to legalize harmful addictive drugs.
All because of this great and Noble truth.
Freemasonry teaches something similar if not exactly the same, but it's a gaurded truth, that you EARN, and do not take for granted.
You work for this truth...as you are told after being raised (or should be told):
"You have not yet attained the SD o MM. You are not a Master Mason, so far as to enable you to prove yourself one, or to travel and work as one;
nor do I know that you will ever become a Master Mason. You have a ways to travel over that is extremely perilous...."
It continues as such, the journey, is your journey and quest for knowledge, truth, and the teachings of Masonry.

TRUTH
No mason can say his journey is ever over, because the mysteries of such is always sought.
These same ideals are taught by many, even the Christian and Muslim Faiths.
Yet, they are in plain sight and not respected.
Because of that, common men do not heed them, but take them for granted.
And in times when Evil rises, such as Nazi Germany, Common men forget these truths and follow blindly into the darkness.
But any Mason who acts as such, and is not just in it for the "drinks"...will never follow blindly into the dark...but always faithfully into the
light.
Conspiracy theorists, can not seem to grasp that fact.
