Hello,.. and today I thought I'd tell a little something about the last time I went to the hospital.

I was taken to the hospital against my will,.. because I was fasting. And while I was in there, there was one doctor that was against letting me go home.

He questioned me one day with a series of questions, and even said that he fasts also.

One of his questions was: Which is better,.... a bird in the hand or two birds in the bush?

I was stumped at first and thinking that it was important to answer his questions correctly so I could go home,.... and he asked,.... haven't you ever heard this saying before?

No,... I haven't.

So he went on to some other questions,... then in the end he came back to the bird in hand question again.

And I don't remember if I ever answered him right now,.. but what I kept thinking was: It's not better to have a bird in my hand because I'm just going to let it go free, and now they are all free.

And later I thought,.. his right answer may of been: A bird in your hand is better, because it is better to have than not to have. I don't know....

Maybe that's true for items that are not alive,... but when it comes to beings that are alive,... I don't believe that it is better for me to have them.

Better me than someone that is going to hurt or kill the being though.
