"I don't feel like doing anything."
-Soren Kierkegaard

>> No.8873181

"But which 'I' is the self which refuses the purely dialectical mode of doing? For by doing nothing the self has accepted his suffering and is this in despair and this despair is indeed a less dangerous despair than the despair experienced by the self refusing to acknowledge the self. The cogent act of doing nothing, the conscious choice to be content with the act of nothingness is in this sense a self recognizing its own self and, one shutters to think of it, embraces his despair."

Is Kierkegaard just depressing to read if you are atheist/agnostic, but very interesting and enlightening if you are a Christian? That's the sense I got from him, still need to read more though

"Without daring, then, to appeal to Lessing, without daring definitely to refer to him as my guarantor, without putting anyone under obligation to want, because of Lessing's renown, most dutifully to understand or to claim to have understood something that brings the one who understands into a dubious relation to my lack of renown, which certainly is just as repelling as Lessing's renown is compelling- I now intend to present something that I shall, what the deuce, ascribe to Lessing, without being certain that he would acknowledge it, something that I in teasing exuberance could easily be tempted to want to foist upon him as something he said, although not directly, something for which in a different sense I in admiration could enthusiastically wish to dare to thank him, something that in turn I ascribe to him with proud restraint and self-esteem, just out of generosity, and then again something that I fear will offend or bother him by linking his name to it. One rarely finds an author who is such pleasant company as Lessing. And why is that? I think it is because he is so sure of himself. All this banal and easy association of someone exceptional with someone less exceptional- one is a genius, a master, the other an apprentice, a messenger, a day laborer, etc.- is prevented here. If I wanted to be Lessing's follower by hook or by crook, I could not; he has prevented it. Just as he himself is free, so, I think, he wants to make everyone free in relation to him, declining the exhalations and impudence of the apprentice, fearful of being made a laughingstock by the tutors, a parroting echo's routine reproduction of what has been said."

well essentially when he was married to regina he had two conflicts. one he believed that love was something that always would fade and that marital life and romantic love couldn't coexist but rather one either had to have family or love but not both. the other was that he felt that the pursuit of family and status for family and statuses sake was an empty pursuit. thus he left regina the woman he loved because he believed that love would die and couldn't bear to see it gone. the other was to pursue meaning in a world that seemed fundamentally meaningless to him. which led to his leap of faith.
