Ebenezer Scrooge from the Charles Dickens' novel, "A Christmas Carol" is a classic story with a powerful message: no matter how much money you have, no matter how many possessions, if you are unkind to everyone around you… you’ll have a miserable existence. You won’t even enjoy your own company.

At the beginning of the story, Scrooge is an embittered and miserly old rich man who shows no kindness or compassion to anyone. He dismisses the idea of charity and refuses to donate any money to the poor, preferring to accumulate his wealth instead.
