The quote shows that Scrooge's behavior harms him as much as it harms others. This adds to the theme that greed is harmful to everyone.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Scrooge is a very greedy and irritating man.
  • He's not kind to anyone, which makes everyone feel attacked, even his nephew.
  • One of the ghosts takes Scrooge to see his nephew talking about him to a group of friends.
  • Everyone is complaining about the way Scrooge behaves, except his nephew who shows compassion and pity for Scrooge.

Scrooge's nephew claims that Scrooge's offenses harm him as much as they harm others, making him a victim of himself.
