Once there were three little pigs who lived together in mutual respect and in harmony with their environment. Using materials that were indigenous to the area, they each built a beautiful house. One pig built a house of straw, one a house of sticks, and one a house of dung, clay, and creeper vines shaped into bricks and baked in a small kiln. When they were finished, the pigs were satisfied with their work and settled back to live in peace and self-determination.
But their idyll was soon shattered. One day, along came a big, bad wolf with expansionist ideas. He saw the pigs and grew very hungry, in both the physical nad ideological sense. When the pigs saw the wolf, they ran into the house of straw. The wolf ran up to the house and banged on the door, shouting, "Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!"

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was well known for his wisdom.
One day the great Philosopher came upon an acquaintance, who said excitedly:
- Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of yours students?
- Wait a moment - 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 student, it might be a good idea to take a moment and 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 ...
- Ah right - said Socrates - So you don’t really know if it’s true or not.
Now let’s try the second filter, the 2nd 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, 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 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?
This is why 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.
