Description: Boston, Shambhala, 1990. G PB (some tanning spots to fore-edge). Kierkegaard says we live a life of despair. Most of mankind lives this way unconsciously. We live in denial of the paradox. of being human, not even acknowledging our pain. It takes a crisis to break through the denial and bring this to consciousness. Both consciousness and the free choice and acceptance of ourselves as this movement of being between these opposites are requisite to living our lives meaningfuly. "And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth." Raymond Carver, "Late Fragment" "Without suffering, happiness cannot be understood. The ideal passes through suffering like gold through fire." Fyodor Dostoevsky Bottom front corner turned.
