Cherish life and learn to be grateful

Human life is only once, a gift from parents and God. Life itself is a kind of happiness. People live not only for themselves, but also for everyone who loves you. He carries the hopes and love of his relatives, friends and country. Life is so precious and beautiful, and carries so much responsibility and meaning. However, cases of disrespect for life, indifference to life, and destruction of life often occur and are currently occurring in our society. Data released by the World Health Organization show that approximately 287,000 people commit suicide in my country every year. There is another piece of data: According to statistics from the Ministry of Education, more than 8 million teenagers across the country are addicted to the Internet, and they spend more than half of their time online and playing games every day. How can we not feel sad and shocked when we see these shocking statistics? How can we not sigh with regret when we think of those fresh lives that have fallen like meteors and the wasted youth?

Confucius once said, "The body, hair and skin are given to us by our parents, and we dare not damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety." Our body, skin, and skin were given by our parents, and we must cherish it and care for it. A healthy body and mind is the most basic condition for life and work, so cherishing and caring for it is the beginning of filial piety.

People need to be responsible for themselves, but also for their parents and society. I want to ask those who commit suicide, those who spend their lives in Internet cafes all day long, do you remember who held an umbrella to send you to school on the windy and rainy road; do you remember who was there late at night for you? You have copied the quilt; do you remember, who has raised you for many years and given you the power of life? What reason and right do you have to break the flower of your life without authorization and waste your precious youth without scruple?

Let us put aside the indignation in our hearts and think calmly about the reasons why some teenagers ignore life and destroy it. I think there are many reasons. The main reason why this happens is that they lack a grateful heart.

Without sunshine, there would be no warmth; without water, there would be no life; without parents, there would be no ourselves. No one would understand these simple truths, but we enjoy them as a matter of course in life. While doing all this, we often forget to be grateful.

"Whoever speaks an inch of grass will be rewarded with three rays of spring." "The springs repay each other, the grass is knotted in the ring, and the kindness is repaid." This ancient Chinese idiom that has been around for many years tells us to be grateful. The crow has the meaning of feeding back, and the sheep has the kindness of kneeling to breastfeed. If animals are like this, let alone us humans? Gratitude is the basic morality that everyone should have and the minimum cultivation of being a human being. In 2004, the Chinese figure Tian Shiguo was moved. He gave part of his body back to his mother, and handed over his gratitude to the mother who raised him. Perhaps, in life we ??do not necessarily have to do such earth-shattering things as Tian Shiguo, but we must learn to be grateful.

Let us learn to cherish our lives, cherish our happiness, and learn to be grateful for everything around us. We only have it because we cherish it, and we only have it because we are grateful!
