    It’s a quote from Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”. Scrooge is told this by the ghost of an old business partner, warning him that his miserly greed has consequences. It’s a good book, but if you’re not up for reading it, you can get the gist from “The Muppets Christmas Carol”. 🎅

      So my point stands - this isn’t about “self fulfilment and happiness”, nor is it in any way a motivational quote.

        Christ on a bike, literary metaphors must be a nightmare when you’re constantly trying to be offended on other people’s behalf to draw attention to yourself 😂

            If you find yourself being overly empathetic in every day situations you may actually be a bit codependent in other aspects of your life, no judgement or anything just saying.

              Ah yes, showing empathy is actually a sign of mental illness, please provide anything resembling evidence for your claim, because I think its made the fuck up.

              Empathy is good and helps us cohere socially and understand each other, no empathy is bad and actually a sign of several personality disorders.

              You may want to concern yourself more with how you find yourself than how others find themselves, cuz I think you got it twisted
