There is a scene from the movie, "The Last Samurai", that sums up my interest in freemasonry.
In the movie, Tom Cruise's character speaks with a samurai lord, the last of a dying breed of men who followed the ancient warrior code of honor called "bushido".
The samurai lord says, "The way of the samurai is no longer necessary."
Cruise's character replies, "What could be more necessary?"
It seems we are in an age when the high ideals of honor, integrity, magnaminity, and brotherhood are no longer deemed necessary. But what could be more necessary?!?
Even among groups where fraternal love is suppose to abound, nation's militaries struggle to remind their soldiers that they are not mercenaries. Inside the "thin blue line" LEOs value brotherhood less and career advancement more. And church men preach the gospel of wealth and riches instead of faith, hope, and charity.
So who's left to carry the light? My generation should know that they don't have to give up, and that they don't have to reinvent the wheel. The answer, I think, is freemasonry.
