Gossip! Lol :D

Next time someone starts to spread gossip, think of this:  One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, "philosopher , do you know what I just heard about one of your students?" Wait a moment," philosopher 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," philosopher 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 philosopher . "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," philosopher 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. philosopher 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 philosopher , "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. This is the reason philosopher was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. It also explains why he never found out that Plato (his student) was having an affair with his wife. Moral: It's good to gossip sometimes !!!... :-)

Hopeless Case..

When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate,
painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 20 years
they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of
intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an
entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of
their marriage.

   Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of
time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the
wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband
watched with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as
though in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said: "This is
what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?"

   The husband thought for a moment and replied:
   "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on
Fridays, I go fishing."
