Chaotic Order
Do neat freaks reflect an inner state of massive disorder? What about messy people? Are they at peace with themselves? Think about it. When you try to hide a letter for instance, do you hide it awkwardly, or do you conceal it in under a neat pile of freshly pressed clothes? Throwing it in the middle of a mess of papers might scare you because it is easier to be found if someone tries to rattle that mess. Also as the searching person, you’re more likely to search in closed drawers than in a place that’s obviously messy. Take another example. Let’s say that you open the freezer and see a lot of things neatly stacked in one corner. Chances are there’s a large container of ice cream behind that stack that your parents don’t want you to discover.
In life, a lot of times we find people who seem to live super-perfect lives, and then we discover that everything we used to see was just superficial coating, and underneath the flaking paint, there’s rusting iron. Also, a lot of times we find people who seem to be super-messed up, and later on we discover that these strange people have good things working for them. So in short, never judge a person until you properly know them. And even then, judge them carefully.
Today’s question is, are you the tidy person with so much to hide, or are you the messy person with nothing to hide or are you the neat person with nothing to hide?
