" Because it is possible to create................one has anxiety. One would have no anxiety if there were no possibility whatever. Creating, actualizing one's possibilities....................always involves destroying the status quo, destroying old patterns within oneself. Progressively destroying what one has clung to from childhood on, and creating new and original forms and ways of living. If one does not do this, one is refusing to grow, refusing to avail himself of his possibilities; one is shirking his responsibilities to himself."
Soren Kierkegaard

It won't be easy reading. Ain't no Stephen King. But goddamn it will electroshock my brain.
How cool is it that thoughts and philosophies given birth in the early to mid 19th century can resonate with me today.
How incredibly insightful and perceptive this man must have been.
Are there fewer people around like this today or is their genius being drowned out by Duck Dynasty?
We live in sad times, people.
