I cannot forget my father’s remarks whenever he comes back home and he sees everywhere so clean and neat. He would often conclude that there must be something wrong with our phones, or if the wifi is not working. This is because he knew that none of his children likes cleaning, and we do it diligently only when something pushed us to do so. That was how he started out at first, but eventually it turned to teasing. He would ask us what happened that prompted us to clean that much.m, surely there must be a reason behind it.
Now that I think about it, it is actually funny. Although our thinking was corrected as we grew up, it was not really a great mindset to have. To think that one can only engage in an activity as important as cleaning after oneself because there was an internet glitch or computers are not working is so counterproductive.
We don’t need other reasons to engage in cleaning activities, apart from the fact that we want to maintain our cleanliness and hygiene. It should be a daily normal activity, as is going to work, eating and sleeping.
That was my thought as I went about my cleaning activity for the day.
Cleaner, with a story.
