tidying
Tidying is the ritual of temporarily concealing the chaos one has created, preserving social appearances. By stuffing unwanted items into boxes and removing them from sight, one gains a fleeting sense of security while the true mess remains out of view. Often undertaken to feign psychological peace, this act serves merely as a prelude to the next bout of disorder. Ultimately, the pile of clutter in the corner stands as a testament to the forthcoming battlefield.
