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!
