As I was walking out of the garage yesterday, the concierge
of our building came to me and asked if all the plastic bottles
lying around the backyard were mine. It had indeed been very windy for a few
days and thus things had been flying around. I said: „No, because our platic
bottles are alwys tight in our blue plastic bag“. The blue bag being a
recycling bag which we close with a pin. I added: „You need to tell all the
neighbours (in the appartment building) that they need to keep their blue bags
tight and closed.“ At this point, and seemingly without hearing me, he raised
his voice and shouted: „Because I am fed up of picking up all the trash all the
time – it looks like a dump here again! And we keep on cleaning it!“
I had already given him the solution to his problem, so I
did not further reply to his comments. I nodded my head in a neutral manner and walked on to the garage. There was a moment where a thought
popped up in my head that I should at least prove to him that the bottles were
not coming from us, but upon taking a breath, I saw that this would add little
to the point and in fact the point was not wether or not he agreed with me the but
about whether I am clear within myself about my starting point. When I was done with my
business in the garage, I walked past him again and said ‚bye‘.
This showed me that when I am clear inside myself, it is
very easy to direct a situation. There is no need to take on the emotions from
others.
