Why do most want to be Freemason

[Ahmed]

Hello ,

Was asking my self why most people wanted to join ?

In my opinion I think most seeks wealth and power , as for me personally keep thinking deeply the reason , and got a conclusion that I wanted to be a better person and potential

Please give me more hidden reason witch is cloudy in my mind.

Best regards

For me... It was two fold. I wanted to be a better man... Also wanted to be around like minded individuals.

For me, I was just intrigued with the fraternity and wanted to learn more about it. Problem was, that everything you read online or see on tv is different or claims that masonry is satanic. Having a good friend who was a senior warden at our local lodge. I figured the only way to find the truth was to petition. I did just that and have enjoyed every minute of it. Even though I am still young in my journey

Go ahead and throw the "wealth and power" ideal out the window...

I join to make me a Better Man and help serve my community. To improve myself and self control and understand this meaning of brotherly love.

I too joined to be a better man and make good friendships. It has made every aspect of my life better too. The relationship with my wife, family and work have all improved. They saw a difference in me. My grandfather was also a mason and a shriner and since he has passed I am the only mason in the family now.

You can go online to the Grand Lodge website for which ever jurisdiction you live in and there should be a lodge locator.

My reasons for becoming a Freemason were twofold; 1) I had a younger brother who was/is a Master Mason and two cousins who were (they have since passed) Masons in New Mexico. 2) I was drawn by the intrigue of the secrecy and the mystery of the rituals. After I petitioned, I found out that I could become a better person just by following the tenets of Freemasonry. WOW, what a cool idea. Become a better person just by following someone's ideas and examples. Now where have I heard that before. Except, there is a difference in Freemasonry and Religion, in Freemasonry, nobody preaches to you about how you should live and in Religion, there are no juicy tidbits of knowledge held out for you to go running after.:50:

In addition to my previous answer, also self discovery.

My son was a MM. I have always be intrigued with the secrecy but when he told me they have live morals, I was convinced to follow through. My son traveled from out of state for my EA FC and he was the one to raise me. The thing that a lodge would let someone from out of state and very close to me made the experience so much more special. Now I am totally involved and loving every minute of it. It is the true meaning of brotherhood.

People that join for selfish/wrong reasons never tend to stay around the lodge long. and that's ok. I much rather have 2 or 3 serious candidates/brothers then 10 guys that go through the degrees expecting favors or just to wear a ring. The ring means nothing if the person wearing it does not understand what the symbol represents/means.
