CLC - Master Mason - 05.30.17

H ONOR Honor is the respect we earn by what we have done. Doing good and being better earns respect. Fidelity earns respect. Masonic symbols are associated with a wide range of conduct characteristic of the person we strive to become as we progress in this craft, and this progress can earn respect also. But, respect and therefore honor involve more than what others think of us. It includes what we think of ourselves. Do we think that we have done the best we can? Are we defeated by the failings we perceive in ourselves and give up, or are we reassured when we realize that everyone can come up short periodically, rebound from mistakes and try again to do good and be better?
