Human ability to convey ideas and feelings through words is unique to us. It can be tremendous blessing, but it can be also opportunity for abuse. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll tell you a tale that gives us some helpful hints on how to better deal with those who gossip and <strong>how to stop ourselves from spreading rumors as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One day, a student came up to the great philosopher and said to him: &#8216;<em>&#8216;I have just heard some news about one of your friends.&#8217;<\/em>&#8216; he excitedly exclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;<em>Before you tell me this news, we need to make sure that it passes the triple filter test,<\/em>&#8221; responded philosopher.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8221;What is the triple filter test?<\/em>&#8221; the man asked<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;<em>&#8216;The first test is that of <strong>TRUTH.<\/strong> So, tell me, do you know that what you are going to tell me is absolutely true?<\/em>&#8221; asked the philosopher.<\/p>\n<p>After thinking for a moment, the man said, &#8221; <em>I heard this news from someone else, so I am not 100% sure if it is true.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;<em>&#8216;The second test is that of <strong>GOODNESS<\/strong>&#8221;, the philosopher continued, &#8221;Is what you are about to tell me something good?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8221;No,actually, it is quite opposite&#8230;&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The philosopher interrupted the man, &#8221;So what are you going to tell me is neither true,nor good?&#8221; The man was slightly embarrassed and shrugged his shoulders.<br>\nThe philosopher continued, &#8221;There is one final test which is <strong>USEFULNESS<\/strong>. Is what you are about to tell me going to be useful?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;<em>&#8216;Probably not,&#8217;<\/em>&#8216; the man replied.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8221;Well, if you are going to tell me something that is not true, good or useful, then why tell me at all?&#8217;<\/em>&#8216; responded the philosopher.<\/p>\n<p>I am sure that we&#8217;re indulged in a bit of gossip from time to time. We all come across salacious information occasionally that we feel compelled to pass on to others.<\/p>\n<p>The next time you do, pass the info through the triple filter test to see if you really should be telling others.<\/p>\n<p>Proverbs 26:20 says, &#8221;<strong>Without wood a fire goes out, without gossip a quarrel dies down&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D&#39;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#39;%20width=&#39;_w_&#39;%20height=&#39;_h_&#39;%20viewBox%3D&#39;0%200%20_w_%20_h_&#39;%2F%3E\" data-czlz data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ktdizajn.hr\/monalisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/gossip.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1273\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8221;Evil gossip kills three: the one who says, the one who listens, and the subject of the gossip&#8221; -Talmud The sages teach us that each time someone speaks badly of others, it is like killing three persons.
