Sometimes, a defeat by others is a victory at home.
Aren't they glad when, occasionally, at beauty pageants, some stunning woman says something dumb in response to a supposedly profound question?
Don't they smile, don't they feel more alive, happier, when that wasp waist, that piano smile, those Caribbean sea eyes affirm: “Well, the historical period in which I would have liked to live is World War II. .
Today everything is so flat…”?
Well, Marie Kondo, the guru of order, seller of millions of books and apparently responsible for the fact that the childhood of so many other men and women has ended up in the trash to make room in the closet, has just given up, and Twitter has. celebrated in style.
The 38-year-old Japanese woman, and author of the phrase "Life doesn't really begin until you have your house tidy", became a
be water my friend
on January 26, in an interview with
The Washington Post
to promote a new book and consequent new method.
She said: “I was a professional cleaner until now, so I did my best to keep my house tidy at all times.
I have given up on that aspect.
Now the important thing for me is to enjoy the time with my children [it seems that he has been the third one that has brought down the whole system] ”.
"My house is messy, but the way I spend my time is the right way for me at this stage of my life," he added.
What a confession.
Much of the developed world, especially the world that has children, he yelled, "AHA!"
The party spread over several continents.
"A defeat for Marie Kondo, but a victory for humanity," @iCarlosRuano tweeted.
“Marie Kondo has already given up and her children are not yet teenagers.
You will see, Marie Kondo, you will see ”, warned @LaPijortera.
"Come on, Marie Kondo has implicitly recognized what many of us have been saying for a long time: that there is no easier way to be a perfect father/mother than not having children", gloated @ CristianBilba12.
"You could see it coming, Marie Kondo, we mothers already knew that your method was failing," she shared, proudly, @CuckiTheTravel.
“Marie Kondo, that square-and-bevel-fringed sociopath who is capable of turning a college apartment into a nun's cell, has gone messy.
Welcome to the dark side,” she invited, magnanimously, @Ebaezan.

Although most celebrate the surrender, there have also been tweeters who have been encouraged to defend it: “You don't know, Marie Kondo has got rid of her own method.
There is nothing more Marie Kondo than that”, warns @sebasesrad.
With good reflexes, the Ikea
community manager
in Chile wrote: “Dear Marie Kondo, don't give up.
We have many solutions so that your life continues to be ordered”.
You don't know
Marie Kondo has gotten rid of her own method.
There is nothing more Marie Kondo than that.

Some are encouraged to put a title to the next book by the Japanese — "This is not a hotel, any day I'll take the door and leave" (@Noesporpresumir) — and to make jokes: "Marie Kondo is a tris to start saying: 'What do you think, that I am the bank of Tokyo?
There are also bitter messages: "Who gives us back what Marie Kondo made us throw away?" asks himself, melancholic from Argentina, @ElflacoEse1.
The first graffiti appear in the house of Marie Kondo!

The commotion over the guru's confession, the angry tweets, that gustirrinín when seeing her give up and abdicate her own
bestseller

The magic of order
— reflects something that we already intuited — perfection does not exist — although we often let it make us more bitter from account.
And it also shows what is still the favorite phrase for much of humanity: "I told you so."
