A Christmas carol

The other day I watched the film "A Christmas Carol". It's a classic, and watching it made me reflect on certain things.
The ghost of Christmas past. It made Scrooge reminisce his past. You feel sort of sorry for the neglected boy who turned out to be the arch-enemy of Christmas, Ebenezer Scrooge.
Who we are today is greatly influenced by our past. It might be helpful to remember this in order to have more compassion towards people.
The ghost of Christmas present. It made Scrooge see the lives of the people who presently come in and out of his everyday life.
No man is an island. Being human means being related to people. Our deeds, misdeeds and omissions have repercussions on the lives of the people closest to us, as their lives have consequences on the lives of others. We can say that every deed, misdeed or omission has a ripple effect. It makes me remember the film "Pay it forward".
The ghost of Christmas future. It made Scrooge have a vision of what will be in the future. Scrooge asked the ghost if what he has seen "will be" or "might be".
It is never too late to change. Yes, our past has a great impact on who we are today, but if we just try to be honest and to see our life now in terms of its effects on others, or on that good person that we are deep within our hearts, we can always change and go through the road of conversion.
Thanks, Ebenezer Scrooge. I guess this is your life's message for me now.
"God bless us, everyone."
