What can we learn from Scrooge: a Christmas Story?
Despite his past, Scrooge learned that he could still find happiness in life. This is something we can all try to do, as our present and future lives don’t have to be shaped by the events that previously defined us.
In a way, Scrooge discovered he had the power to change not just his own life but the lives of others too. He could do the same by taking positive steps and by offering kind words, charitable actions, and hand-of-friendship to those around him. This would lead to the happiness Scrooge experienced in his own life and in those around him.
The movie (and the original story) also teaches us that the pursuit of money can’t make us happy. Scrooge lost the love of his life as a consequence of his money-loving ways and he lost time with Harry too, but by the end of the story, he learned that other things, such as the joys of family and friendship, were much more important than wealth. This is something else we might want to consider if we spend too much time working at the expense of our families.
In Scrooge’s story, we learn about the power of self-control and how to be a good person. We also learn about the importance of being kind and helping others.
