Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Good day, people of Hive. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

This line has been around for centuries now. An adage says the way you dress is the way they will address you. I'm a person who loves to make everything tidy, I hate when things are scattered and not well arranged because it would anger me a lot cause I don't like untidy places.

There's one of my neighbours with whom we are staying in the same compound. Whenever my roommate or my brother swept the compound before fifteen or twenty minutes, she would dirty the compound, and that used to frustrate me because it is not easy to sweep the large compound and you would be dirty the place. Sometimes I would want to talk, but it would be my brother who used to tell me to don't talk and that I should just keep quiet. I hate it when I see something dirty, or if I see something untidy, it used to make me angry.

Cleanliness is something I cherish a lot. As you all know, I am a student. If I wake up in the morning and do my household chores, bathe, and go to school till the evening, that's when I would be back from school, and I don't have that much time to arrange my room to my taste, but still, I would arrange it so that it would look good. So on Saturday morning, after our morning devotion and household chores, there's no one to explain to me how to arrange my room to my taste because I would love it if my room is scattered and I have an unexpected guest. I would be embarrassed for not being able to take care of my room. That's when, every Saturday, I must make sure that my room and compound are clean.

The way you clean your house or room is how people will praise you, saying you are a neat person, and because of that, people will want to be around you. But if someone is a dirty person and his or her house or room is dirty, you will see how people would insult the person and even not want to be associated with the person, saying the person is too dirty for their likeness. Even we have some people who, despite their house, room, or compound being dirty, won't bother to take care of it. If I were living with such people, they would know that they have a neighbour because we would be fighting every day. Cleaning our room is not the only reason we are clean; it is also the way we take good care of ourselves, watch our clothes, etc. Having a clean home and good personal hygiene can have many benefits for physical and mental health.

Also, cleanliness is often seen as a sign of respect for yourself and others. If people come to your house and see how neat your house or room is, they will maintain it. They don't want to scatter it because they know how important neatness is to you. Cleanliness is good because it makes us important in society and also makes us healthy and strong.

Thank you for reading ❤❤❤❤❤.
