Neat and organized are not the same thing

 

You may have a point if the room is neat for the sake of being neat. 

An organized room inspires confidence.  You don't want your son to marry a girl whose room is messy, or your daughter to marry a boy who wastes time looking for his stuff.

You may say, I heard that genious (name: fill the blank) has a messy room.  But for every such genious, millions languish in their parents' basement (picture the room.)

A messy room offers ample distractions for a distracted mind, because its owner does not possess the energy to focus, or he wants to distract others away from his real responsibilities.
