It’s often been said inside my crew that we are not an organization but an organism.
To be part of that whole, like any living thing, means to have a purpose - a vital function not discharged by any other element that makes up the entire thing.
What this also means is that when one fails to perform that function, the entirety of the organism suffers from the deprivation - it becomes ill, or weakened.
To know this fact and to still fail to perform one’s function is to be in a flagrant state of dishonor, and at times, it means being amputated, cut out like a cancerous mass in order to save the whole from the sickness spreading.
Duty and honor are the two pillars upon which men and women’s life must be supported if they are to be individuals of substance and weight.
What could be better than to know you bring strength, happiness and glory to those you have chosen to call your own?
Wishing you all a powerful and joyful weekend with your own crews, clans and families.
