In the novel Christmas Carol Scrooge is visited by three ghosts who show him his bad ways.

Say it thus with what you show." This means what you do or have done affects the future. If you change the future will change too.

He was warned to change his actions to make his future brighter, and a better afterlife. During his time with the spirits, he learned to be a better man and respect the world he lives in.
