The Greek Philosopher Socrates was widely respected for his wisdom. Plato asked scorate, " I want to tell u something about ur student" Wait a moment," Socrates 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," Socrates 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 Socrates. "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," Socrates 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. Socrates 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 Socrates, "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 Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

nehru before he die......miles to go


Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep

WOMAN


WOMAN
She is in our life since we exist.
the care, the love. the affection she gave as a mother
Mother! she feeds us even she has nothing to feed herself
she can stand against any kind of a obstacle to protect us
if the sky is falling we are certain the mother will hide us under her and will accept the sky fall on her so as not to let us be hurt
i once witnessed a mother's eyes full of tears holding a baby she wanted to feed but could not feed as her breast was dry as she had neither eaten nor drank for days
the heart is torn to pieces watching such scenes.............
