A Different Take on Scrooge

I never thought of Scrooge as a charitable person before, but it turns out that he just might be one of the most charitable people of all.

"In this whole world, there is nobody more generous than the miser—the man who could deplete the world's resources but chooses not to. If you build a house and refuse to buy a house, the rest of the world is one house richer. If you earn a dollar and refuse to spend a dollar, the rest of the world is one dollar richer—because you produced a dollar's worth of goods and didn't consume them."

Sunlight breaking through my morning window
The blinds set way up high
A cool breeze whisking the stale air out while
I take a breath, ready for the new day.
