The Best One Gets Without Meditation

While I’m quite fond Cinco De Mayo, among the other things worth noting today is how it is Soren Kierkegaard’s birthday.

I discovered him in my late adolescence, and, my, he was a liberating force…

(God, hard to read, however! I recall one translator footnoting a particularly hard paragraph, declaring in that note that he really wasn’t as awful a translator as the passage suggested…)

I continue to be impressed by existentialists of all stripes. I like to think of existentialism as the best a person can come up with who hasn’t learned meditation…
