From our various affiliations and groupings, real or imagined, our lives derive meaning. They provide a sense of context, order and continuity by transmitting knowledge, values, ideals and aspirations from one generation to
the next. In short, they tend to provide rudders to stabilize us on the turbulent seas of life on earth. [...] [W]e must reinvigorate the meaning of freedom and brotherhood, lest we lose all that our forebears sacrificed to secure for us.
