This vivid cartoon reveals that the virtue of thriftiness should never be overlooked. As is depicted in it, a peasant is picking up left crops while a waiter dumps meal trash into dustbin.
Though the virtue of thriftiness has been advocated for centuries, it is reported by CCTV-2 that over 30% of youngsters are inclined to waste a variety of resources in life. Many facets can be introduced to interpret this, but the ones listed below are the least neglected. The first one is associated with increasing living standard, which enables them to enjoy a more abundant lifestyle instead of saving merely. Meanwhile, obsolete education should be condemned. It attaches more importance to exam-oriented approaches instead of cultivating their awareness of thriftiness. Last but not least, government lacks related punishment in this problem.
As I can see, the virtue of thriftiness should be encouraged in current society. Even if there would be a set of problems, such as less enjoyment or controlling one’s desire, it will play a leading role in the years to come.
