Don’t touch that lid

I am currently experimenting with creating natural fertilizer from food scraps in 35 gallon containers. One of the benefits from the process of food scraps being transformed into fertilizer is the condensation that appears on the inside of the lid after a hot day. If the small drops are collected they can used to smothen out our skin pigmentation. In San Francisco there aren’t many hot days so it is rare to get to collect this treasure.

Today, I peeked inside one container and discovered condensation. I flipped the lid over and ran into the building to get a cup to collect it. When I returned, someone washing buckets in the backyard had placed a clean but wet bucket on the center of the lid. The condensation from the fertilizer was now mixed with who knows what. It could not be used.

Homework: If I were to get mad from this, that would indicate that I held a wrong viewpoint. What would the wrong viewpoint be and how would I remedy it? If the person who put the bucket on the lid felt really bad about what happened, how could that viewpoint be fixed? Good luck!

  • My wrong viewpoints : The condensation on the lid is my ‘treasure’. I would never have such a chance to get it condensed again! My only golden moment was destroyed! Actually, it may not do anything good to my skin, more over I may be allergic to it. And the weather is so hard to predict now a day, it may get very warm in a few days, so I may have chance to collect it again. Otherwise, I may be able to heat the containers by some experimental methods to get the condensation whenever I want. I thought that everyone must realize how important the condensation is, they must notice the condensation on the lid , the flipped over lid means ‘you can’t put anything on the lid.’ and they must know that I really want to have the condensation on the lid. How could I control everything? Have I ever told them about all these things? If yes, too bad , I forget so many things as well!

    The washer’s wrong viewpoints : I must know that someone needs the condensation on the lid. I don’t want anyone to get mad at me, esp MaeYo!, she must be really angry and something bad gonna happen to me! She might not teach me any more and eventually I won’t attain anything in my practice!! So my matrix box is ‘MaeYo gets angry’ vs ‘I won’t attain anything’ .
