One day, an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about your best friend?" Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the triple filter test. Before you talk to me about my best friend, let's filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Are you absolutely sure what you're about to tell me is true?" "No, actually I just heard about it," the man said. "So you don't know if it's really true or not. Now let's try the second filter, Goodness. Is what you're about tp tell me about my best friend something good?" "No, on the contrary..." "So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. The third filter is Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me going to be useful to me?" "No, not really." "Well," Socrates concluded, if what you want to tell me is not true, good, or useful, why tell it to me at all?"

This is why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. It also explains why he never found out his best friend was boinking his wife.
