5. What else does Freemasonry help us to understand?

Although a voluntary and charitable organisation, Freemasonry is strongly structured and hierarchical. Whilst somewhat at variance with the modern preference for 'flat' relationship/management structures, its character helps us to appreciate the advantages of having "order" in society and in life in general.

Just like the ancient teams of working stonemasons, by having "order" - people who plan, lead teach and encourage, people who learn, practice and perfect - great and enduring things can be achieved.
