Removing dirt is not shameful.
In the late 1940s, one of the permanent bases of geological expeditions had an extremely dirty public toilet. But, of course, it was not this dirty thing that attracted the general attention, but the fact that a descendant of the ancient prince family had to come to the base as part of one of the expeditions. “We will tolerate,” the geologists joked, “but what will his light do?” "His light," arriving, did what discouraged many: calmly took a hose with water, swab and carefully washed the dirty wardrobe. It was the act of a true aristocrat, knowing firmly that it is not a shame to clean the dirt, it is a shame to live in the dirt.
