Welcome to my first blogg.
A while back I was asked, "how clean is too clean"? I was a little taking back by that question. I think that question is rhetorical and personal. I don't think anyone should be told by another how clean they should be. Well don't get me wrong, I still think the word "clean " means what it really means.
Some might argue that, 'Well... I am clean but my friend is way too clean'? How can "clean" be way too clean? You are either clean or dirty, period. 1The meaning of "clean is to free from dirt, unsoiled, unstained, habitually free of dirt." Therefore if you are a clean person, then you are a clean person. Stating, ' I am not a clean freak, I'm somewhat clean' doesn't help anyone. Being clean doesn't have to do with being half clean, or being clean sometimes. You're either clean or you're not. It would seem that unclean people, like to call clean people names; like 'clean freak', 'weirdo', 'psycho on cleaning', 'neat freak', etc. Now the name calling is so rampant that people who are self acclaimed clean, are ashamed of it. How the table turns. I don't think there's anything wrong about being "clean" or " too clean" ( which there's isn't anything as too clean). So what if someone is a "clean freak" or "too neat".
The opposite of clean is "dirty", let's see what this word really means. 2 Soiled with dirt, foul, spreading or imparting dirt, obscene, unpleasant, hostile, insulting, etc. Wow!
I don't think anyone in their right mind would want to be perceived as such. No judgements here. Don't get me wrong. Being dirty can quickly lead to clutter, poor time management skills, stressful, unhealthy and overwhelming. People with a dirty home tend not to want people over their homes, they are usually ashamed of the situation.
Cleanness promotes health, a better home, a happy life, stress free, time management skills, respect from others, etc. While being afraid or ashamed to be seen as too clean, don't bring anyone anywhere. I never hear someone who is proud of being dirty, nor being a clean freak. Well.....I will the first to say, " I am proud to be a clean, and an organized person". I have nothing against anyone who is unclean or thinks that I am a clean freak. Being clean has made my life easier. I love having people over and live my life without guilt.
I hope that I shed some light to that question. Clean or not clean, you can only be who you are and not calling each other names. Everyone do what's best for them. If you need to know how to be FREE from 'dirt' please feel free to leave your comments or question.
