• The masons strive for truth and aim to
  achieve in their lives. They are taught to follow
  high moral standards and values that help them
  make a better person. This principle of
  Freemasonry helps them achieve higher standards

  mystery among the philosophers as it has no
  criterion and is not knowable by many.
•  
• Some of the people had problems determining
  what do you mean by truth? The conclusion is
  that the truth is a divine attribute and
  foundation of every virtue that includes charity,
  love and brotherhood. To seek and find the truth,
  the masons are taught how to purify their heart.

Brotherhood

• Every freemason must show respect, love,
  and tolerance for others. They should behave with
  understanding and kindness to his fellow members.
  Brotherhood is the greatest of all the virtues,
  regardless of the religion. Brotherly love shows
  the attempt to provide for the poorer sectors of
  the society including slaves, orphans, widow etc.

  masons to correct the irregularities of less
  informed people and guard them against vicious
  practices.
