OPINION: 'The Scrooge performance is all about starting over. As ingrained as were his negative, destructive aspects, he was able to make a life-affirming change. With the New Year of 2023 upon us, it is the ideal opportunity for us…
Everyone has different traditions around the December holidays. For most, it is a heightened sense of wellness and generosity. A time for giving.
People are also reading… On Christmas Day, we watch another movie after the presents are unwrapped. It is “A Christmas Carol” with George C. Scott as Scrooge. Scott perfectly portrays the sour, parsimonious, unyielding man who cares only about his shillings at the exclusion of humanity. Only one small lump of coal heats his dark, cold place of business, illuminated by two candles. Christmas, to him, is “Humbug.
Everyone on earth should watch Scott’s Scrooge performance during the last 20 minutes of the movie, if nothing else. It could be life-changing. It is too easy to fall victim to greed, resentment and self-interest in our lives. We know, or should know, that compassion, generosity of spirit and love is what we all should seek. Think of how uplifting simple acts of kindness and release from burdensome emotions could change the world.
The Scrooge performance is all about starting over. As ingrained as were his negative, destructive aspects, he was able to make a life-affirming change. With the New Year of 2023 upon us, it is the ideal opportunity for us to do the same. New Year resolutions usually last only for a short time, but resolving to help make the world a better place should be longer lasting and more rewarding. We can make a difference for ourselves and those in our lives.
