What ever does he mean? I am intrigued.

About Me
- QUOTIDIANNE
- I am a writer with a lifelong fascination with words. My first memory of the power of words was recognizing that "T E R R O R" not only meant 'terror' but that the letters strung together as they are enough to instill terror. I love looking at the quotes of other people and seeing how they can be so relative to everyday life. There are so many words out there, there is so much being said, and so much of it is being recorded and then accessible at a moment's notice. My blog is to take those sound bites and freeze them, add my own sound bite, and offer them both up and out to the world for the world to take a second, closer look and really see what has been said.
Despair, in the way Kierkegaard uses it, is not the same as unhappiness. Despair means some kind of spiritual doubt and discomfort. A happy person has the luxury of not being forced to confront their spiritual imbalance and can therefore easily hide their despair.
