Scrooge's heart was hard. He focused only on making money, and he had worked toward that goal almost his entire life. He looked down on poor people and thought they were useless. Much of this attitude was a result of his own past.

Scrooge calls poor people idle because he believes they are not working hard enough to better their situations. He views them as lazy and lacking initiative, which aligns with his belief in self-reliance and personal responsibility.
