Wow. I loved your Karl Barth joke, thank you and so true. Kierkegaard isn't read by many...which is why my old copy of excerpts from his Diary were so prized. I recently read Anxiety (maybe a bad translation?)...I was trying to understand psychosis. It took the whole book for him to explain the finite base that keeps us from the terror of infinite possibility. This "inaction" is also to humbly work and live within your "limits" knowing that's enough. Our liberal society tells people nothing is ever enough. It also insists on choice to the absurd. These :values" are a springboard for attack, really. How dare you express any confidence in a God! How dare you put your life in His hands!
