Soren A Kierkegaard embarged on a review of the emerging church.

It was only the other day that Soren A Kierkegaard embarged on a review of the emerging church.
He was reminded of his earlier thoughts in as much as the community was transforming in to a theatrical exsistance and stage sets.
He had concluded that society no longer consisted of individuals or groups devided in to social hierarchy. Its make up was of an undifferentiated mass, " the public". He had concluded that the mass "the public" was most dangerous and significant in power.
It , "The Public" would march as soon as someone said march! It would never ask the least of questions which could make it seen as the power more or less proportionate to its state of anonymity..
Story from Kierkegaard continues at Hiland praise.

"Nor can it be lack of exercise for I walk all day long"

I like the story of Kierkegaard going to his doctor as he says in a journal entry 1845. he had complained about being out of sorts.The doctors reply was "You have probable drunk too much coffee and you don't walk enough!" Three weeks later he was speaking once more to the doctor "I really do not feel well" Soren said " But it cannot be the coffee, for I do not drink coffee." "Nor can it be lack of exercise for I walk all day long". "So the reason must be that you don't drink coffee and you walk too much!" the doctor replied. Soren concluded his infirmity was on him because he drank coffee or if he didn't drink coffee his infirmity was because of that. He reckoned that this was a human affliction that all had to deal with.

SK in reflection of himself summer 1848

."..oh, if there is a time and a place for jokes in eternity, I am convinced that the idea of my thin legs and my trousers, which have been the object of ridicule, will be my blessed amusement. In Eternity,-but, mind you, not a second before. " SK in reflection of himself summer 1848 after feeling the strain of the conflict with the magazine The Corsair.
