Life is Good
Just
because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have.
Ralph and Edna
were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while
they were walking past the hospital swimming pool,
Ralph
suddenly
jumped
into the deep end.
He
sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna
promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and
pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became
aware of
Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be
discharged from
the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally
stable.
When
she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news
and bad news. The good news is you're being
discharged, since
you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and
saving the life of the person you love... I have
concluded that
your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's
dead.'
Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry..
How soon can I go home?'
Happy
Mental Health Day!
