is thrift still a good virtue?
with the improvement of the living standards, many people are [1]no longer interested in the simple life style [2]and some of them even feel ashamed to be thrifty. what they pursue is the latest fashion. in their eyes, thrift is already out of style. ad:from .
[3]however, still other people insist that thrift is a good virtue. they say that the unprecedented power of production doesn’t mean that we are entitled to a life of extravagance, because our natural resources are limited [2]and some of them even are [4]on the decline. [5]moreover, they hold that waste may lead to degradation of social atmosphere and environmental pollution as well.
[6]as to me, i prefer the latter opinion. i believe [7] “waste not, want not.” the truth of this saying is [8]not to give up comfort but to enhance efficiency. [5]in fact, economic growth depends enormously on saving. [5]besides, there are still millions of chinese [9]living under poverty line. we can never afford reckless waste.[5]therefore, [10]it is no doubt that thrift is still a good virtue that we should not give up.
