Since it's on TV this time of year I'd thought I'd bring it up.
Everytime I watch it, I can't help but think how much scrooge could be me, or any of us here.
Although the modern interpretation of the story leans more towards scrooge being rich and being a jerk, this wasn't the so much the moral when written. When written the story was about a man who had closed himself off to others. He built the wall (chains) slowly over the years. In the end, all he had was money.
To me, it shows that it's never too late to change. If only we had our own ghosts to help us out.
