Is Thrift Still a Good Virtue?

With the improvement of the living standards， many people are no longer interested in the simple life style 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.

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 and some of them even are on the decline. Moreover， they hold that waste may lead to degradation of social atmosphere and environmental pollution as well.

As to me， I prefer the latter opinion. I believe “Waste not， want not.” The truth of this saying is not to give up comfort but to enhance efficiency. In fact， economic growth depends enormously on saving. Besides， there are still millions of Chinese living under poverty line. We can never afford reckless waste. Therefore， it is no doubt that thrift is still a good virtue that we should not give up.
