Prejudice in your own Country

As a Mason in my every day life i dont hide the fact that i am a part of the Brethren. I dont advertise it but on the other hand i dont hide it. On the other hand i hide my name when i post on this blog. I think its the fact that i fear the the repercussions of my name being dragged in to a smear campaign and being attacked by individuals that have a misinterpreted perception about freemasonry.
You would rightfully ask "what if one of the people you know that have knowledge of you being a mason posts your name online"?
Those people i win over and they understand through my action in daily life that being a Mason is not a threat to society.
Maybe if i where financially secure i would dare it. But im afraid i have some road ahead to reach that.....not complaining though!
I feel that freemasons in this country hid within their lodges and cut them selves off from society. What i mean is that they didn't publicly prove that they are not a "a bunch of rich old men that worship satan and govern the world".
Greece is not like other countries where free masonry is recognized or even acknowledged. In Greece the main perception is a very bad one im afraid and it is attacked by all. Church, left wing, right wing, lower / middle / upper class's and ignorance prevails.
I believe that a certain Mother Lodge and of course many "brothers" prefer this secretive "all mighty" Mason profile and it serves their own agenda. I believe even more so that this is the minority but sadly enough the damage is huge...
I am satisfied that i belong in a Lodge where my Brothers are actually actively caring and involved as much as they can in helping their fellow men and women, regardless of religion, nationality and opinion. To bad that no one knows that the help they receive is suggested in the lodge and all brothers have their vote and as a joint effort part of the lodge's money that comes from the Brothers that pay a subscription (for the Lodge's expenses and the aid fund).
I know that an impression that is lasting for decades can not change from one day to another but measures have to be taken. We must, somehow make society understand.
