The Greatest Effort

Just this afternoon when i've reached home from school, i finally took a look at my house.
It's in a total mess and nobody even bothered to clean it up, in fact i figured that they(my brothers) just piled up another piece of worn t-shirt or jeans over the previous one that they left.
It was so bad that when i wanted to put my lunch which i bought from a nearby eatery on the table, there was no available surface.The table was filled with bills , notes and books, i was really frustrated and went insane for a moment, i threw all their books,bills ect onto 1 side of the table and i did notice that i made an expression which Dr.Lightmen from "Lie to me" will have said to be that of a person who wants to kill or hurt somebody intentionally.
It was a subconscious expression, well who can blame me?for a neat freak like me, going home with the crazy warm and humid weather, seeing everything so messed up, not being able to find a spot for my lunch on the table was the melting point. It's not like i have did anything drastic anyways.

Well so i cooled down and thought things through, if i carry on wanting things to be clean and neat i will only get even more angry with everything around me.Reason being that i am too much of a perfectionist when it come to the tidiness of the place i stay in.
So i should compromise?

However without the existence of perfectionist, where is the room for improvement?
without someone always being there to do better, would you strive for the better?
In this case my argument is very one-sided since even with me around, i know that my brothers will not make the effort to be tidier and things like that.
It's their lifestyle choices , which i don't think i have the capability to change it.
So does it mean that they should not change?

Well from my point of view, i do not think that this is a healthy lifestyle choice at all.
Why do you clean up your room when you bring girls home?
It is because you don't want them to know how untidy you are.
If you do this kind of thing you are subconsciously ashamed of your own untidiness.
Untidiness not only make things look messy, overtime your unmaintained items will start to attract pests.
You want that?

But the whole point of my argument is you don't have to be a perfectionist, but at least don't be too sloppy.

Lets take an example of a lady.
Lets say this is a average lady with a average look and average figure.
If she just do away with the whole perfectionist thing,everyday she just go to work with her unkempt hair and never brushes her teeth, do you think she will even get a job in the first place?
At least do your best, yeah that's the phrase.
Do your best to look your best, you don't have to look perfect because nobody is perfect.
Just do your best to look your best, people will feel like you've made the effort and you will also look better and feel better.

Well then, food for thoughts.
Not really
