6. What are the Masonic ideals that Freemasons try to practice?
   They are expressed in several ways, one of which is “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.” Liberty is the freedom of individuals to follow their own conscience and to develop their intellectual capacities. Equality is the recognition that all human beings are basically alike in their physical, mental, and spiritual natures and are deserving of respect. Fraternity is the mutual commitment we all have to support and assist one another.
