Masonic symbols


People must be wondering why we put all those masonic symbols and stickers (they are called decals by the way) in our cars and wear those rings, pins and shirts

Masons do it for a variety of reasons. It's not just because we want to be recognized by brothers as members of the craft. Each of us has our own reasons I believe. I will speak for myself here...

Freemasonry teaches men to be upright, of good morals, to be better men. Those symbols represents something and reminds us of what the fraternity is all about. Having those symbols in my car and wearing a ring actually is a responsibility for me, more like a burden sometimes

You see, the symbols represents something good. So just imagine if people see me driving like a lunatic and coursing everyone and they will see that I have those masonic symbols in car. What would people think?

Before a man is accepted into the craft, it is expected of him that he should ultimately bring honor to the fraternity

So having those symbols and wearing my ring actually reminds me of why I joined the fraternity, it is because I wanted to be a better man and I should behave as such.
