Simplified meaning
The Freemasons, who were skilled stonecutters, failed because they started working for free. Imagine a baker who makes the best bread in town. If she suddenly gives away all her bread without charging people, she won't make any money. Soon, she can't buy ingredients, pay her bills, or keep her bakery open. People might love her bread, but if she doesn't charge for it, she'll eventually go out of business. This idea can apply to anyone’s work: it's important to value your skills and make sure you’re compensated for them. If you give your work away for free too often, you won’t be able to sustain yourself or grow.
