Are You a Christmas Scrooge?




It was the year 1995 when  I worked for this big electronics firm and I always gave what I could to my fellow co-workers who needed help especially on the Holidays. There was this one person that i was always helping out and gave him rides to work and bought lunch or shared mine. When one day one of my other friends told me that that guy I help out is a millionaire , I laughed and said;" Do you really expect me to believe that",I mean who would when I know where he lives and everything . There was nothing to suggest that he was. I confronted my co-worker and it took a lot of work to get him to come clean, Then he spilled the beans and told me everything, that he was gonna tell me but really wanted to know what kind of person I was before he told me. I then said to him doesn't matter I don't care anymore about what you have to say just don't talk to me anymore. Really, how would you feel after three years helping out someone and find out that you where being used like that. I still donate my time and money to charity's and I am sad that I have not helped anyone like I have helped my disassociated friend.
