Genesis

<< Noi privim ca un adevar evident prin el insusi faptul ca toti oamenii au fost creati egali, ca ei au primit de la Creatorul lor unele drepturi inalienabile, printre care: viata, libertatea si cautarea fericirii. Pentru a asigura aceste drepturi au fost constituite guverne care se intemeiaza pe consimtamantul celor care sunt guvernati. De fiecare data cand o forma de guvernare este destructiva, poporul are dreptul de a o modifica sau de a o aboli si de a institui o noua guvernare, stabilind fundamentele si principiile acesteia. Poporul organizeaza Puterea in forma care ii pare cea mai accesibila, pentru a-si realiza siguranta si fericirea sa. Experienta arata ca guvernele aflate la putere mai mult timp nu sunt schimbate pentru cauze simple si trecatoare, ca genul uman este predispus la suferinta, dar nu la infinit, abolind formele de guvernare invechite.

Dupa o indelungata perioada de abuzuri si uzurpari ale guvernului care urmareste sa supuna poporul unui despotism absolut, este dreptul acestui popor sa-si scuture jugul dominator si sa stabileasca noi gardieni in vederea asigurarii sigurantei sale viitoare.. >>

Asa se pronunta un fragment din Declaratia de Independenta a SUA si, in buna masura, am dorit sa evidentiez cateva din principiile care tin nu doar de inalta moralitate masonica cat de un caracter sanatos, demn, crescut onest si aflat intr-o continua perfectionare..

Intru Gloria Marelui Arhitect Al Universului! .'.

---ENGLISH TRANSLATION---

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
