Story Goes that Socrates was resting under a tree when one of his disciples approached him in a hurry and said master I want to tell you something a friend of yours has been speaking ill of you Socrates interrupted saying wait a moment have you passed this through the three filters before telling me the three filters I'm not sure what you mean the first filter is that of Truth are you completely sure that what you're going to tell me is true in all its aspects the truth is I don't know I simply heard someone say it
alright now the second filter is that of goodness is what you're going to tell me something good or beneficial no actually it's not then we come to the last filter necessity is it necessary for you to tell me this about my friend to be honest it's not it will only create prejudices and damage his reputation if it's not true nor good nor necessary then it doesn't deserve to be heard [Music]
