WHY moral stories?

Filed under: Uncategorized

Moral Stories are those that are read in childhood, when the soul is pure and clear, and remembered for the rest of the lives. They are also passed on to generations. Through Moral Stories, the idea is to present the greatness of the humanity. Through Moral Stories one can improve their moral values and can learn about the human life.
                                            Pearls of Wisdom:

    * Don’t love the Heart that hurts you and don’t hurt the Heart that loves you.
    * Don’t cry over anyone who won’t cry over you.
    * Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
    * Most people walk in and out of your life, but only friend’s leave footprints in your heart.
    * True friendship "never" ends. Friends are forever.
    * People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.
    * If we are incapable of finding peace in ourselves, it is pointless to search elsewhere.
    * The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.
    * A change of heart changes everything.
    * Our greatest glory is not in ever falling, but in rising every time we fall.
    * You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough.
    * One generation plants trees, and the next enjoys the shade.

    * It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the past. Nothing is as far away as one minute ago.emoticon

                                           The Triple Filter Test
During the golden Abbasid period, one of the scholars in Baghdad, the capital of Muslim caliphate at that time, was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem.

One day an acquaintance met the great scholar and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"
"Hold on a minute," the scholar 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," the scholar continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you’re going to say.
That’s why I call it the triple filter test.
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 the scholar. "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 friend something good?"
"No, on the contrary…"
"So," the scholar 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 friend going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really."
"Well," concluded the scholar, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"

  1. i love the triplet filter, sometimes its better to silent than talk something useless, but its not easy for all people. Some people are just like to talk and talk, but actually they say nothing.

  2. I am always guilty of listen to what people said about my friends without the triple filter.

    I love don’t love the heart that hurt and don’t hurt the heart you love.
