83. A Christmas Carol (Staves 4 and 5): Gratitude as the Meaning of Time
In this discussion I finish talking about Dickens'A Christmas Carol,by discussing Staves 4 and 5.
The great gift Scrooge receives from the three ghosts is a awareness of the gift that had always already been given; this brings about a new life of gratitude in Scrooge. Life gets its full meaning only when one becomes grateful for what one has always already had - life itself. This is the meaning of the Christmas: the gift of Life Itself among us.
