Why I wanted to become a Mason?

Or more like, what inspired me to become one. I guess it all started about 5 years ago, I was curious, I got curious about the emblems that I see on cars (later on I learned that you call them decal). I did some research and learned more about the group. I read of good things and bad things about Freemasonry.

I guess that, in some ways, I was fascinated. So I continue my readings/research about Masonry. Then I read about masonry “making good men better”. Then I thought, how? Then there was this page on famous Filipino Masons, there were heroes, presidents, artist, patriots etc. I later found out that there was even a book titled “10000 famous Masons”, you have there presidents, scientists, soldiers, inventors, businessmen, philanthropists, you name it, we have it, men who have contributed much to society. Then I thought again, “making good men better” and these men. Where they already enjoying these stature when they become Masons? Or masonry helped them to become the kind of men as society knows them? Believe me, more often than not, it’s the latter rather than the former.

I am Mason because I want to be a better man and I chose Freemasonry as my medium
