This is a saying that has been passed down from generation to generation among the Boy Scouts of America. It is used to mean “try to make a place more beautiful than it was when you visited it,” and has recently made headlines with the clean locker room of the Japanese national soccer team at the Qatar World Cup and the “mass trash pickup” after the game by Japanese supporters. The phrase “tidying up” has been used to mean “trying to be more beautiful and mindful.
In reality, however, it is true that there are people who do not clean up because they believe that it is not their responsibility to do so. However, a tragic situation occurred in the neighboring country of South Korea that made even such people want to turn away.
Even the people of their own country were stunned: “You can’t go this far if you don’t hold a grudge.
The “messy room” in question was spread widely by an article posted in an online community under the title “I want to catch him and do __.
The post was made by Mr. A, a motel owner. He posted several images of the indescribable mess, along with an angry note about one guest who fled, leaving the room covered in garbage.
The photos show that the floor of the room is stained black with liquor, uneaten food, and even cigarette butts scattered all over the place. The bed was supposed to be white, but the sheets were stained black and the room was in such a miserable state that one could not stop shaking just by looking at it.
Korean netizens were appalled by this, saying, “You have to have a grudge against them to go this far,” “They should charge for the cleaning,” and “This kind of thing makes me angry even though I have nothing to do with it.
It is difficult to perfectly achieve the goal of “making the room more beautiful than when you arrived. Even so, it is common sense not to make a mess in a room. I hope they will be at least moderate in their behavior.
