@kilonzoNice Better light control in the room and easy to clean. And yes, as someone who wants different amounts of light at different times of the day, blinds are better for light control. For cold climate, curtains bring warmth.
You are trying hard to explain something simple. One can't acquire class at 40yrs of age while they grew up as buffoons. This is something acquired in formative ages. One is brought up in certain way. It's in the same "class" with value systems and virtues.
This may sound repetitive, but one thing I have come to believe is that class is difficult to define and even more difficult to acquire. You can certainly learn a thing or two if you are observant, open-minded and willing to grow, but there are some qualities that no amount of money, fame or status can ever buy.
That is why trying to constantly correct or critique people on matters of taste, character or personal conduct is often a waste of time. Some things simply come naturally. It is not necessarily about wealth, appearance or social standing. It is something deeper that is hard to explain but easy to recognise. It can reveal itself in the way someone dresses, the furniture they choose, the design of their home, their colour combinations, their cutlery, their curtains, or even the way they carry themselves. What must be understood is that it also shows in how they treat others, their character, humility, personality, aura, presence and overall demeanour.
The interesting thing is that it has very little to do with physical appearance. When someone possesses that special quality, people notice it. They stand out without trying too hard.
That said, taste is individual. What appeals to one person may not appeal to another, and that is perfectly fine. We all see the world differently. Yet there remains a certain timeless elegance in those who combine good taste with humility, kindness and respect for others.
Good taste may be individual, but class is often recognised long before it is explained.
It is what it is.
@SeweS_@mbi_rwa@XivTroy There is something people don't seem to differentiate, culture and wealth. I am sure someone would look at a somali/Maasai dressing and lifestyle and call them poor just because they dont match their image of what rich looks like! 🤔
I've been trying to tell people for years.
- Kenya was the "safe" place in Africa for the rich children of the world to come and work and play.. back during colonial days.
- Once colonialism was over.. that didn't change, if anything it increased. More so with the continued portrayal of Kenya via Hollywood movies and series.
- When people think of "traveling to Africa" they first think of Kenya, not Tanzania or South Africa. Again.. thanks to Hollywood.
- Kenya has always been aligned with the centers of Money in the world, i.e. New York and London.
- Kenya is still the "real Africa" unlike South Africa, with more of the practical problems the rest of the continent faces.. while also having enough of the amenities that South Africa offers.
- It's always been stable, with a stable business environment, with strong judicial oversight of business structures.
All of these things make it the go to spot in Africa for any Ivy League grad with a bright idea.
It's also a badge of honor on any Western CV to have done time in Kenya. South Africa and other places.. less so.
We assume there are values and morals in these people's homes! We have seen young people in this app praising life's shortcuts, from what type of families do we assume they were raised from? The rot has depth! We have lost a generation or two because of another generation 🤔
What do you even tell your family surely? These are fruits of your hard-work? Ehh imagine being told babako ni mwizi pale kanjo. Hakuna tofauti na mwizi wa side mirror… Mwizi ni mwizi tu.
Shameless, unpatriotic thieves.
You can be all this and lack integrity and basic human values. Then you could be less than nothing to a small percentage of humanity. And that could be all that you are.
Lol,you have no range to lecture me on "throwing anyone under the bus".I do work that change lives of drs,you do work that fill your pocket.That is the difference daktari.That strike that you claimed I failed in restored interns pay.....sadly I never saw you on the streets with us.Infact you were busy boiling cow legs as we walked miles on end doing demos.Sit down.
It's more of an inferiority complex. People really comfortable, contented and satisfied in life don't do this. This mostly happens with those who grew up with nothing and wake up one day with something.
LRT. Kunakuwaga na classism ngumu sana hii Kenya. A Kenyan at any time is looking at you vile umevaa, pale umekaa what you are drinking, what you are driving to gauge your economic worth. Sad fucking state of affairs.
@wanguwamajani All sounds nice but phone on the dinner table. ION, I like the way you love what you do. This kind of love is what makes a difference between a job and work.
