  • For my true friends

    A True Friend

    In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day one fellow met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your 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.". "Triple filter?". "That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filter test. 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 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 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. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend 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?"

    Lesson:
    Well we can always participate in loose talks to curb our boredom. But when it comes to you friends its not worth it. Always avoid talking behind the back about your near and dear friends.

            To some extent I agree with u...one who always hide ur bad deeds sometimes proved to be very dangerous person, i don't regard him true friend who always hide ur flaws and show-off good qualities. Encouraging ur friend is a positive sign but a good friend always justifies his job telling u where are u doing wrong enabling u to avoid that mistake in future :)

                Definatly, you are utright in yr said mentioned words true frnd are always have a good sense of other friend bcoz if he or she hidde yr bad deeds and try to work out at proper way then i guess it'd better....but we also notice and halt the attacks for this, we should aviod to involve him in any matters and should not accstomed to his or her habbits in oneself .....


                Frnd always b there and hold yr hand in yr good as well as yr bad time and that waht we called true frnd:)
