A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Porsche Carrera GT in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck swerved too close to the curb and tore off the driver's door.
Fortunately, a cop in a police car was close enough to see the accident and pulled up behind the Porsche, his lights flashing. But, before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically.

In ancient Greece Socrates (469 - 399 BC)
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 Triple Filter Test.'
'Triple filter?'
'That's right,' Socrates continued. 'Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?'
'No,' the man said, 'actually I just heard about it and ..'
'All right,' said Socrates. 'So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter 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 the test though, because there is a third filter - 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 could not answer. He was defeated and ashamed. This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.It also explains why he never found out that Plato was banging his wife.
