freemasons.......

"Freemasonry teaches that our personal characteristics are neither random nor immutable. We can change ourselves just as a builder changes his surroundings. The wisdom and inspiration contained in Masonic ceremonies allows us to reflect on ourselves and adjust our behaviour and way of thinking. It's a hard path that involves the constant chipping away of our negative qualities and the cultivation of our virtues. To do this we use contemplation, speculation, ritual memorization, and constant adjustment and correction of our thoughts in daily life. A stonemason builds buildings, a Freemason builds himself into someone better and more virtuous. It is a way of becoming the best man that you can be, and of having the best effect you can on the world"

yeah, but can they do 8 pints of guiness, then do a chicken vindaloo and the whole pot of lime pickle???
