Socrates' triple filter test

starseed
By starseed

Next time someone starts to spread gossip, think of this:

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?"

"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."

"Triple filter?"

"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. 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 and.."

"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 student something good?"

"No, on the contrary."

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, even though you're not certain it's true?"

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.

Socrates continued. "You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"

"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 was defeated and ashamed. This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

And it's also the reason why Socrates never found out that Plato was banging his wife.

But the point of gossip is for it to not to be true, good or useful! Otherwise, it wouldn't be gossip! :P

I'm kinda lost in here, after reading 6-pages of this thread, I could hardly understand how this thread turned into personal attacks and insults.

-->Jauntie, am sorry i was outside for a groceries, How are you?

-->Darude, what's that special mentioned of my name does mean? Anyway, wish you Ramadan Kareem!

To ALL my buddies in QL and to all members reading this I wish you from my deepest heart a Happy Ramadan.

P/S

Also I want to highlight this:

To those people I unintentionally hurt....my apologies! and for those who hurted me....I have forgiven you!

Let's have a peaceful Ramadan, may our Almighty Allah/God grant us more blessings and mercy in life!

RAMADAN MUBARAK! :))))))))))))

Correct me if I am wrong but could they have even met? I seem to recall from somewhere that Plato was a student of Socrates, or was it the other way round? Plato was homo-sexual but Socrates? Bi-sexual? Those Greeks lived a fast and lose sex life! :D

Mystica, why must you do this to every single thread. I love to read some of the others post but here you are again. When will the administrators get rid of this woman? Maybe if eveyone will just ignore her she will go away. Sometimes you have to do that with chldren when they are throwing a temper tantrum.

After what you said about Azzy in that post in tagalog the other day (there are lots of translation sights on the web) you should be ashamed. You brought her children into your silliness. You should be ashamed. With the hardships that Filipinas have I would think you would try to band together. All you do is brag about what you have and they don't.

I am not in Doha, so I am sure you will tell me to mind my business. However, there are plenty of users who use this sight for infomation, etc. Unfortunately, just about every post one pulls up - there you are with your stupidity. Give it a rest. Go and get some beauty sleep before your hubby decides to trade you in on a younger model.

Take care now.

I noticed how everytime you play the race card- people must not like you because of your race. Yeah right, they don't like you because of the hateful messages that you post. You started this, then went back and edited your post.

So your friends say everyone else looks bad? I don't know you, or anyone else here and I made my judgments from what was posted. You insulted single girls calling them Wh0res and insinuated that you are better then everyone else because you are married and so much smarter then the rest here. Then you go and insult maids- like it is shameful to work hard and support yourself and family. If your friends agree with you, then they are just as sick as you.

You cross the line way to far, especially when you threaten to bring in people's real lives to this thread. No one cares about your personal life so keep it out.

Apologize for starting all the insults and please leave. Your words are very ignorant.

pips, go to the first page, and see who started it (i was trying to cut and paste here, with matching explanations, but I lost my comment somehow).

Starseed started it. He mentioned Mystica's name. Starseed, nice topic of 3 filters, but why do you have to mention mystica's name here?

Mystica said: not a gossip.

Darude, Gypsy and jauntie (saying Mystica hijacked the thread- it was Starseed who hijacked his own topic, by mentioning someone's name) and Alexa followed suit.

Who knows, Mystica was just starting a conversation about something here.

You did not even give her a chance to post something concrete here.

#1 Annoyance- Gypsy et al, could find mystica annoying yesterday. But that was yesterday! Bury the hatchet.

This TCOM even said that Mystica is deprived from love.

Some used words like attention seeker, dumb, like a ***, I saw your pix, try me.

So who provoked who?

she never mentioned the word W***e

Now everyone is upset.

Quit it everyone, and also you Mystica my friend. I am your friend. It's a waste of time. As I have told you, you can't win this fight. Their minds are already set as to who you are. (Note: 8 people or so, tough luck my dear)

The harder we try to tell everyone, just to please them, the more it gets worse.

Mystie, let's have an LOA from QL, and get back when everyone has forgotten about these stuff. Tide is high.

If whatever i posted here do not match your opinion, that's the way I look at it. And if i missed out some stuff that Mystica has posted wrongly, i did not do it intentionally. It will just go on and on, until another one gets hurt.

By t_coffee_or_me• 12 Sep 2007 20:16

Your language might offend some people, but the tone and attitude behind your words do far greater damage to all of your relationships.

Even if your friends and associates commonly use cuss words, you will be perceived as more mature, intelligent, articulate, polite, considerate and pleasant if you control your language and the emotions that typically prompt expletives. You can choose to have character and class, or be considered rude, crude and crass.

Cursing is sometimes humorous, but sometimes abusive. It can help vent anger, or provoke it. It can relieve stress, or cause it. It can be clever and flirtatious, or sexist and intimidating. Consequently, be aware of when and where you swear. Control it, tame it, time it. Or, to be on the safe side, stop using it altogether.

1. Recognize that swearing does damage.

2. Start by eliminating casual swearing.

3. Think positively.

4. Practice being patient.

5. Cope, don't cuss.

6. Stop complaining.

7. Use alternative words.

8. Make your point politely.

9. Think of what you should have said.

10. Work at it.

• Think in clean language, and switch negative thoughts into positive solutions.

• When you are on your way to a situation you know will test your temper and your tongue, plan ahead what you will say and how you will say it.

• Tell your family or friends what you are doing, and you will be more cautious around them.

• Determine when and why you swear the most, and develop your own tricks for changing your behavior.

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.

a little earlier, in the same shop, I was queuing behind a man to get my green groceries weighed. As I was waiting another man arrived and stood behind the counter NEXT to the chap doing the weighing.

I waited to see what would happen and, sure enough, the assistant went to take the second man's groceries before mine.

Happily the second customer was a gentleman and shook his head at the assistant and nodded towards me. I thanked him politely even though I had no need, since I had been there first.

That assistant was about to openly differentiate between my white face and the one which was the same shade as his own. Which was exactly what the broom bloke did.

SORRY Starseed - didn't mean to hijack - apologies (my bad)

wasn't so much Q jumped as the guy with the broom (guarding the way to a check out which was about to close) indicated that I go to another till. Only one with a long Q was open. He then proceeded to allow his fellow countrymen access to the one he was guarding.

I became very un-British in my gestures and remarks toward the broom carrier and, as I left, I asked the Manager if I should paint my face in order to join a Q. He just smiled grrrrrrrr

Socrates has got a point though (as usual). If you occupy your day spreading poison about other people's lives, there's got to be something missing from yours. If someone's a d**k, just let them get on with it. It'll catch up with them without your involvement.
