Thrift is a virtue. With the progress of society and the improvement of people's living standards, the phenomenon of extravagance and waste is becoming more and more serious. In this case, I want to say: frugality is not a helpless strategy for the poor, but a virtue that everyone should strive to possess. Thrift is a virtue, because thrift reflects one's respect for the fruits of others' labor and personality. Presumably, everyone has read such a poem when he was a child: "It was noon when weeding, and sweat dripped down the soil. Who knows that every grain of Chinese food is hard. " It is not just the "Chinese food on the plate" that condenses the hard work and sweat of farmers. Then the clothes and things in our hands are not full of the hard work and sweat of thousands of people? Therefore, wasting these things is disrespect for the fruits of others' labor, that is, disrespect for others' personality. So, on the other hand, frugality means respecting the fruits of others' labor and their personality. Thrift is a virtue, and it also reflects a person's sense of responsibility to the country and mankind. The energy of a country and even the whole world is limited and by no means inexhaustible. Therefore, saving energy is everyone's responsibility. Cherish every drop of water and save every kilowatt hour, which is a truth that even primary school students know. However, some people disagree: there is no one in the room but the lights are on; When using water, whether it is necessary or not, the tap is always open. Friend, you waste not only your personal money, but also the resources of the country and all mankind! Moreover, with the increase of world population and the decrease of cultivated land area, the food problem is becoming more and more serious. When you throw away the leftover food, have you ever thought that in some corners of the world, there are still people who live without food? These people who don't care about frugality, waste resources and food are just irresponsible people who are "blessed". And only those who have the virtue of thrift are those who have a sense of responsibility to the country and mankind. The ancients taught us to "cultivate morality by thrift". Under the current situation of reform and opening up, advocating the virtue of thrift has become a top priority. Let's all become people with the virtue of thrift, and strive to form a good atmosphere of "being proud of thrift and not ashamed of it" in society!
