Why do masons always step off on the left foot?

Masons traditionally step off on the left foot as a symbolic gesture representing the importance of balance and harmony in their rituals. The left foot is often associated with the spiritual or inner self, while the right foot represents the physical or external world. This practice serves to remind Masons of their commitment to morality and the pursuit of enlightenment as they progress through their ceremonies. Additionally, it fosters a sense of unity and consistency among members during rituals.
