Short Story On Friendship

Today on the occasion of friendship day I share a beautiful story with you on friendship. As we all can always participate in loose talks to curb our boredom. Always avoid such type of talking behind the back of your near and dear friends.

One day one companion met the philosopher and said, “Do you know I just heard something about your friend?” He replied “Wait a minute”.

And then he also adds “Before telling me anything about my friend you have to pass a little test. The test is called the Triple Filter Test”. Then the fellow said “Triple filter? What is this?” Then philosopher continued “Before you going to tell me about my friend, so you don’t think it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you are going to say about my friend. That’s why I named this test triple filter test.

So the first filter is Truth. Are you absolutely sure that what you are going to tell me about my friend is true? Then the man replied “No, I actually heard about it from some else”. “All right, so you don’t know if it’s true or not” said Socrates.

Now lets try second filter, the filter of Goodness. “What you are going to tell me about my friend is something good?” Then the man replied “No, on the contrary”. Then Socrates continued “You want to tell me something bad about him, but you’re not sure it’s true, Am I right”.

Now last filter is left that is filter of Usefulness. “What you want to tell me about him is going to be useful to me?” Then fellow said “No, not really.”

“Well” concluded Socrates “If what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, then why you are going to tell it to me at all?”

So friends I am going to wishing you happy friendship day 2016. Enjoy this full day with your friends.
