This week seems to be all about lids and cycles. Who am I to fight fate?
Of course, it could also be about humour in marketing, or about making a personal connection to affect behaviour.
Wait a minute, you say. We can’t have a personal connection with a metal jar lid, can we? Well, all I know is that *this* jar lid got its wish, at least as far as I could grant it: I threw it in the glass/metal recycle bin. It’s up to someone else to finish the job. And that brings in one of my mother’s favourite quotes.
It is not your duty to finish the work,
but neither are you at liberty to neglect it.
– Pirkei Avot, 2:16
It’s true, you know? It’s connections, all the way down . . .
