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.
Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they
were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim 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 andpulled Jim 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 another
patient, I have concluded that your act
displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved,
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?"
