It's become our habit to judge someone's appearance, where neatness and cleanliness are attributed to wealth or wealth. This way of thinking is actually a bit flawed, but it's become commonplace and a habit that occurs in all regions. It's actually possible for poor people to appear neat and clean, but because of too many burdens and ridicule, they revert to their natural state of being dirty and untidy.

I acknowledge that cleanliness and tidiness arise from within each person. What's considered neat and clean isn't always about new or expensive branded items. I say this because there are still many wealthy people who behave uncleanly and dirty, but their condition is often covered up by new and branded clothing, giving the impression of being neat and clean. However, neat and clean doesn't have to be.

In my area, most people work in farming and gardening; their work involves getting dirty and muddy. It's easy to distinguish a clean and tidy person from a dirty and untidy one. We shouldn't judge someone by their job, perhaps. While working, he's very dirty, his body covered in dust, sweat, and odor. However, when he gets home, he'll leave all his work equipment behind, take a shower, and clean himself, then he'll be clean and tidy. That's a truly clean and tidy person.

Meanwhile, those who work in shady areas, offices, and so on, who don't deal with dirt and aren't under the hot sun, aren't necessarily clean and tidy, even if their appearance is impressive. It could be just a boss's order, so they're simply following the workplace's rules, not being truly clean and tidy. We often see people at home who aren't as tidy and clean as they are at work. So, the workplace can also make people look neat and tidy. It's impossible for farmers to go to the rice fields wearing new, neat clothes and shiny shoes, yet if calculated, their income is higher than that of office workers.

Besides workplace factors, the environment and culture also greatly influence clean and tidy behavior. We often see people who live in cities looking cleaner than those who live in rural areas. Why is that? Perhaps because the environment there is accustomed to cleanliness, they are accustomed to cleanliness. Furthermore, they don't work in the fields, so their skin looks cleaner, their faces fresh, not dull, unlike villagers who always work under the hot sun, which inevitably leads to dull, dark, and dirty skin.

However, money is a major factor in driving people to be cleaner and tidier. There are several reasons why people are cleaner and tidier. With money, they no longer have to work hard or work under the hot sun, and they are free to choose what they like. Second, with money, they can buy all the new and nice things, making them look elegant and clean. Finally, they pay more attention to cleanliness and beauty because they have a high ego.

Money is closely linked to cleanliness, especially in today's world. People feel embarrassed if they look dirty. However, money can be a barrier to maintaining cleanliness and tidiness. Only a small percentage of people are able to maintain cleanliness and tidiness without money.
