Keep this philosophy in mind t
Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you hear, or are out to repeata rumor.In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widelylauded for his wisdom. One day the great philosophercame upon an acquaintance, who ran up to him excitedlyand said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard aboutone of your students...?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tellme, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's calledthe Test of Three."
"Test of Three?"
"That's correct," Socrates continued.
"Before you talk to me about my student let's take amoment to test what you're going to say. The firsttest is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that whatyou are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man replied, "actually I just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really knowif it's true or not. Now let's try the second test,the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell meabout my student something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell mesomething bad about him even though you're not certainit's true?"
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.Socrates continued, "You may still pass though becausethere is a third test - the filter of Usefulness. Is what youwant to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really..."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tellme is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tellit to me at all?"
The man was defeated and ashamed and said no more.
This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopherand held in such high esteem.
It also explains why Socrates never found out thatPlato was banging his wife.
