Once upon a time, in a far away land lived a man named Soren Kierkegaard. He believed people around him did not really live life. Rather, he thought most people drifted along like a man driving a covered wagon who had fallen asleep at the reins. Kierkegaard was convinced that real living involved active choices, and that every individual is free to choose at every moment of the day. This freedom can be terrifying when we learn that we are condemned to be free. Sooner of later we all have to deal with the frightening reality that there is much that is wrong in the world. But look! There is the doorway that leads to life more abundantly. Alas, our pride is much too large to fit in this other world. The choice which underlies every choice is this; will I live in God’s kingdom or on my side of the wall? Kierkegaard emphasized that a relationship with an all powerful God is to be taken very seriously. This is Soren’s song… These are his thoughts as best as I understand them.

song so much. And...I’ve started reading Kierkegaard because of it :)
