Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you hear, or are out to repeat a rumour..

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 Test of Three."

"Test of Three?"

"That's correct," Socrates continued.
"Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to test what you're going to say.. The first
test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you 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 know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second test,
the test 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 though because there is a third test - 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 and said no more.

P/S : Teladannye dari kisah ni x payah le menjadi Macik Joyah aka mulut tempayan.. Ada perkara yang perlu dikongsi ada perkara yang harus dirahsiakan.. Kalau kenal pun x seberapa (kenal time chat je potpet2 hari), sahih atau x maklumat tu pun x pasti simpan je la x baik untuk di jaja2.. Bukan dapat ape pun, jadi penjaja tepi jalan pun ade jugak baiknye..hehe.. Xde perlunye untuk sesuatu yang x pasti kesahihannya disebarkan.. Kalau ade yang terasa saya minta maaf.. Bukan ape takut jadi fitnah, tikam menikam dan ade insan teraniaya.. Kesimpulannya jangan suka sebar kabar angin dan jangan juga mudah percaya pada kabar angin (orang yang mudah percaya ni pun dah xde pegangan ke? xde pertimbangan ke? x boleh guna rasional akal ke? xde budi bicara sendiri ke? jangan jadi robot..hahaha..) Tanye diri sendiri siapa betul2 kenal anda A to Z??? (lagi2 kalo di chat..) Renung2kan..
