Germany is a highly industrialized country.

Many will assume its people lead a luxurious life.

When we arrived at Hamburg , my colleagues walked into the restaurant.

We noticed that most of the  tables were empty. There was a table where a young couple was having their meal. There were only two dishes and two cans of beer on the table.

I wondered if such simple meal could be romantic and  whether the girl will leave this stingy guy.

There were a few old ladies in another table. When a dish was served, the waiter would distribute the food for them, and they would finish every bit of the food on their plate.

We were all very hungry, our local colleague ordered food for us in excess of what we could eat.

When we left, there was still about one third of un-consumed food on the table.

As we were leaving the restaurant, the old ladies spoke to us in English. We understood that they were unhappy about us wasting so much food.

"We paid for our food, it is none of your business how much food we left behind," my colleague told the old ladies.

The old ladies were furious. One of them immediately took her hand phone out and made a call to someone.

 After a while, a man in uniform from Social Security organisation arrived.

Upon knowing what the dispute was, he issued us a 50 Euro fine.

We were stunned into silence.

The officer told us in a stern voice,

ORDER WHAT YOU CAN CONSUME

MONEY IS YOURS BUT RESOURCES BELONG TO THE SOCIETY.

THERE ARE MANY OTHERS IN THE WORLD WHO ARE FACING SHORTAGE OF RESOURCES.

YOU HAVE NO REASON TO WASTE RESOURCES.

The mindset of people of this rich country put all of us to shame. WE REALLY NEED TO REFLECT ON THIS. We are from country which is not very rich in resources. To save face, we order large quantity and also waste food when we give others a treat.

THE LESSON IS:-

THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT CHANGING OUR BAD HABITS.

VERY TRUE -MONEY IS YOURS BUT
RESOURCES BELONG TO THE SOCIETY.
