Socrates - the 3 filter test :
On a particular day, an acquaintance of the philosopher Socrates asked the great man, "do you know what I just heard about your friend?" Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test called the "Triple filter test.
The first filter is Truth.
"Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it. All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter,
The filter of Goodness.
Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?" "No, on the contrary..." "So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though because there's one filter left:
The filter of Usefulness.
Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be something I can use to benefit the world?" "No, not really." "Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?" The man stared at him, and without a word turned around and left, dejected. This is why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.
It also explains why he never found out his best friend was sleeping with his wife.
