Drop of Water in a Comprehensive Ocean

Dr. Fred Wooden, UU guest minister. Drop of Water in a Comprehensive Ocean.”  This is a metaphor from Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, used by the ghost of Jacob Marley to tell Ebenezer Scrooge that his business dealings were insignificant compared to the vastness of his moral responsibility to mankind. It emphasizes that what seems important in life, like wealth, is tiny when compared to our duty to others, charity, and compassion.
