Provocations

by chuckofish

I have never cared for all the Easter Bunny nonsense surrounding Easter. Even as a child I thought it was stupid and detracted in an inappropriate way from the seriousness of Christ’s sacrifice and the celebration of His resurrection. But I enjoyed the candy and let’s be honest–I really want to make these Peeps concoctions. The wee bud would ❤️ them.

And now I have to get back to Kierkegaard…

“Christ was crucified because he would have nothing to do with the crowd (even though he addressed himself to all). He did not want to form a party, an interest group, or a mass movement, but wanted to be what he was, the truth, which is related to the single individual. Therefore everyone who will genuinely serve the truth is by that very fact a martyr. To win a crowd is no art; for that only untruth is needed, nonsense, and a little knowledge of human passions. But no witness to the truth dares to get involved with the crowd.”

–Soren Kierkegaard

And if you were wondering what’s the use of reading if you forget everything anyway… Here’s the answer.

P.S. Look for a post from my long-lost DP tomorrow!
