I think that the difference between knowledge and learning is pertinent to this discussion. When I was raised I heard the MM Obligation for the first time. At that point I had knowledge of the obligation, but I hadn't learned it. In the jurisdiction where I was raised they use the short form catechism so I was not required to memorize the obligation, it was read to me and I, again, agreed to it. I was a MM for about six months before, for personal reasons, it became important for me to memorize the MM obligation. It was at this point that I began to learn. By "learn" I don't mean aquire the ability to repeat the words back in the correct order, although that certainly happened too. I mean that I learned what my obligation actually means. I Learned what it means to have an obligation and to be able to live by it. I learned that an obligation can be more than a promise, it can be a tool that is used to securely attach one's self to something greater than one's self. To those who understand what I have written I am sure that my explanation is unnecessary. To those who do not understand I am sure that no amount of explaining will make it clear.
