Drinking water: freshness, pH and perfectionism

Frederic asks about the recommendation to use spring water bottled no more than two weeks earlier.

The Wonders say most bottled water in his area is about a week to a week and a half old, so he is on the edge and should buy only what he needs each day or two.

On pH, they say most of the world's water is now slightly acidic and even mountain spring water carries its own chemical content because the world's water is polluted, but mountain-sourced water is cleaner and has a fairly good pH balance, so he need not be concerned.

They point out this is his perfectionism again, which is what often stops him choosing freely; they see his growing willingness to choose more freely but note he still reverts to the pattern out of fear, and offer this as a useful guideline: when the perfectionist perspective appears, he is caught in fear.
