Søren Kierkegaard was born on this day in 1813. Since he’s pretty much my favorite philosopher, we’re going to let him write today’s blog post in honor of his 203rd birthday:
“The essential sermon is one’s own existence. A person preaches with this every hour of the day and with power quite different from that of the most eloquent speaker in his most eloquent moment. To let your mouth run with eloquent babbling when such talk is the opposite of your life is in the deepest sense nonsense. You become liable to eternal judgment.”
