Rumours are dangerous than any weapon and can lead to more serious consequences. what are rumours? Any information or news which comes from sources but is not true.Recently we have seen many cases wherein humans have suffered to the extent of loss of life.
We receive many messages, through different sources orally, thru whatsapp and we simply forward it at times without giving it a thought, without knowing the facts. Intentions are not always bad,we are careless and sometimes just least bothered about the consequences.
The police have been arresting people who are responsible for such mishappenings, due to rumors caused by lack of knowledge.During lock down period this rumours actually act as a weapon to kill human species.
We need to understand the seriousness of act we do. Take the responsibility of your act by just being bit crefull. Just simple thought of what will be the consequences or impact of the false information, what are the chances of information to be true.
Here I would like to share small story of Chanakya and his three tier test to understand and evaluate the information before you share.
Chanakya, as we all know is known for his knowledge,wisdom and his thought process which is also called Chanakya Niti.He was a diplomat and great thinker.

Chanakya, as we all know is known for his knowledge,wisdom and his thought process which is also called Chanakya Niti.He was a diplomat and great thinker.
One day a known person visited Chanakya.while they both were talking, he said 'I came to know something about you some time ago from a friend of yours.
Chanakya known for his wisdom and thoughts smiled at the person and said, Ofcourse, before you share what you heard about me let me ask you three questions.
First is about truthfullness.
Is it true what you have heard about me?
The person replied No,I am not sure, just heard it from someone.
Second question is about Goodness
What ever you have heard is it good about me to know?
The person replied No it's not good to know.
Neither it's not true nor it's good so let's do the third test, the third question is about usefulness
What ever you have heard and want to tell me is it of use to me?
The person very quietly said no it's not of any use to you.
Chanakya further added what ever you heard about me and want to tell me is not true, it's not good and is of no use to me, so what's the point knowing it.
Let us try and implement this three tier system before sharing any information with anyone.
Ensure If it is true,if it good and if it's of any use to anyone. If you keep hearing or receiving such news, stories,please share this story with one who shares such information with you.
This is not only for this lockdown period but also in our day to day life once we are thru this difficult times.
Let us collectively make an positive aura around. Aura of good health and positivity.Let us try and be responsible.Spread awareness,love and not hatred.
