Distinctiveness- What Master Do we Serve?

Does the true mason approach his world with an open mind?

Mark Twain told us whenever you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.  Isn't that a  sly way to address contrarianism?  Keep this in mind when you next think of Masonry.  Is this somehow mixed into the appeal that has always held us in the palm of hand of this very old fraternal Order? 

Quixotic?  Can you imagine the grief he had to tolerate when he told his friends he was writing a story about an old man on an journey- horse and donkey and servant- travelling on a quest to rescue the fair damsel.

Today psychologists call it -optimal distinctiveness theory.
