There are many things from which I might have derived good by which I have not profited, I dare say," returned the nephew, 'christmas amon the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas-time when it has come round-apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that-as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!" --Nephew Fred, Charles Dickens, A christmas carol

That Charles Dickens was wise. After Robert Louis Stevenson, he is my favorite writer.

In our journey through life if no good comes of it, what of it to us all? A loss is what becomes of it for those we don’t know and those who would have known us. Being a “good deed doer” doesn’t pay in money, but it pays handsomely in other ways.

My brother had been doing charity work, helping people in dire straits to save their homes. Some of the landlords were unscrupulous businessmen who would cheat people through clever lawyers. That violated my brother’s faith in people. I recalled Ebenezer Scrooge saying to Jacob Marley’s ghost, “You were always a good businessman, Marley.” “MANKIND was my business,” replied the ghost.
