🤔 Triple Filter Test 🤔
🕸️Once, a friend came to Socrates and said:
— I'm going to tell you something I heard about one of your friends.
— Wait a minute, — Socrates replied. — Before you tell me anything, it must pass the triple filter test. Before talking about my friend, you must filter what you're going to say. The first filter is truth. Are you absolutely sure that it's true?
— No, — the friend replied, — I heard it from others.
— So, you're not sure it's true. Now, the second filter is goodness. Is what you're about to tell me about my friend something good?
— On the contrary, it's something very bad.
— So, you want to tell me something that might not be true and is also something bad. The third filter is usefulness. Will I personally benefit from what you're saying?
— Well, not really, — the friend replied.
— Well then, if what you want to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor useful, why should I know it? 🤷♂️
