Millennium Without Hospitals
Q: I dreamt that the Mother is building a very big hospital. Dream of a millennium in advance?
A: It would be more of a millenium if there were no need of a hospital at all and the doctors turned their injective prodding instruments into fountain pens―provided of course they did not make misuse of the pens also....
Q: Why furious about injective instruments, sir? They are supposed to be very effective.
A: That does not make an increase of hospitals, illnesses and injections the ideal of a millennium....
Q: But why the deuce are those instruments to be replaced by fountain pens?
A: I was simply adopting the saying of Isaiah the prophet, "the swords will be turned into ploughshares", but the doctor's instrument is not big enough for a ploughshare, so I substituted fountain pen.
