The philosopher Socrates was highly respected for his wisdom.
One day an acquaintance approached him and asked him: "You know what I heard about that friend of yours?". "Wait a minute!" Socrates interrupted, "before you tell me you want a little test that I called" triple filter test "." "Test of the Triple filter?". "Exactly!" continued Socrates, "before you speak to me of my friend, it might be a good idea to filter what you say. For this reason I call it the triple filter test.
The first filter is the truth: are you sure what you're telling me is not it? ". "Actually I only heard .......... e.. "Good!" Socrates said, "so you do not know if it's true or not. Now for the second filter, the filter of virtue. It 's something you're good to say about my friend?".
"No, on the other hand .....". "So you tell me anything negative about him and do not know if it's true. Let's get to the last test, one of the utility. What you're telling me about my friend could help me? "." Well, not really .....".
concluded Socrates, "If you tell me something that is not true, neither good nor useful why do it?".
