Im doing the unthinkable today, cleaning my bedroom. overflowing closet and all. And write about philosophy of contentedness. I believe how a person keeps the place they live is a direct link to how a person also keeps their thoughts. Messy home then perhaps a mind in clutter as well. But the opposite could be said that a clean house is a way to cope with what you cant control in your own thoughts and life. But generally I believe the first to be true.
This is why i take on the task. Its been its been five months and I have some mental clutter than I can finally part with.
Room of dirt and lies
you will not hold me for long
myself to make pure
Its fascinating how guilty we feel when things aren't clean. Even if a house isn't dirty, just lived in we may feel embarrassed by it. Man was born of earth and he is disgusted by it. Ironic. This makes me think of a quote from a song, "Get your head out of the clouds d and get your feet back into the dirt my friends"
None of this to say that order can't be a good tool. but a bit of clutter I think just means you have a lot of thoughts and more important things to worry about than how clean things are. My desk is a mess but I know where it all is and what its purpose is.
