Sacred Haven of Debauchery

There is no truth, no kindness, and no benefit in what you want to say. Why say it then?

One man asked Socrates:
— Do you know what your friend said about you?
— Wait, — Socrates stopped him, — first, sift through what you are going to say through three sieves.
— He said that you are a faggot!
— Before saying anything, you need to sift it three times. First, through the sieve of truth.
— What are you talking about? So, are you a faggot?
— So, you don't know if it's true or not. Then, let's sift it through the second sieve — the sieve of kindness. Do you want to say something good about my friend?

... you even talk like a faggot!
— So, you are going to say something bad about me, but you are not even sure that it is true. The third sieve is the sieve of benefit. Is it necessary for me to hear what you want to tell me?
— Hmm... no.
— The answer to a faggot, — Socrates concluded.
