A magical message for humanity-: My neighbour kept filling my rubbish bin, as well as her own, so I had nowhere to put my rubbish. I was angry about it, complained to my brick walls but the situation only got worse as she never put my bin out for the bin truck, just over filled it and left it to me! Then one day the bin men didn’t empty it, but instead of falling out with my neighbour I just thought fine, she can have my bin, I no longer want it, it’s hers, and it can stay on the street forever! She uses it, she can empty it, or it stays full, gets stolen, I don’t care, but I’m not touching it anymore! And I just threw my rubbish outside my door! And you might complain about that, I can’t leave rubbish outside my door! Well I did, and who cares, there are bigger problems in the world than my rubbish!
So my problem was solved, because I really had stopped caring and also stopped complaining about it, I had let it go! So resolved on the inside means resolved on the outside, literally… let the universe sort it out, it’s not my problem. So my lone bin sat on the pavement in everybody’s way, overflowing for a full week… so what? No stress on my part, I had better things to do now. Then one day I heard a bin truck outside, and thought, it’s not bin day till next week… but when I looked, there was the bin men emptying my one, single, lone bin on the street! They came out just for me! Seriously? They can’t come every week for all of the community, but the council could send one huge bin truck, full of big strong men, just to empty mine! And it had my house number on it, yet there was no come back, no fine, no warning, nothing! I was so grateful I went out and filled it with all the rubbish bags I had left outside my door. And then another magical thing happened, my neighbour has never touched my bin since.
