I've been a mason since May 1992. I guess that's a long time by my standards. I've always paid my dues and tried to be there whenever possible. However, I've never made any real friends or fit in with anyone group or person.
Over the last year I did what I think was my rite and joined the Canadian Legion. Having been in the Armed forces I felt this was my forte. I made friend quickly, my partner joined and made friends quickly. I had some common ground. I was an ex regular serviceman and a NATO Veteran.
What a difference. You can belong to an organization for a long time and not make friends and yet join an organization and make immediate friends.
It's a pity that Masons aren't more receptive or open to what they promote. It's no wonder many new Mason drop out, disgruntled.
I remain a Mason in hopes that time will change Masonry to what it is supposed to be, Brotherly love, truth and relief. No matter how you interpret this it all boils down to making friends that have a common bond. I tried with lots of rejections.
What more can I say.
