Lesson from Kierkegaard

Today I was telling somebody how I
feel about two decisions I made in religious
matters when I was fifteen.
The first one was the result of not being true
to myself.
The second one, two months later, was
having the courage to be myself.

"Well" that same somebody remarked,
""life can only be understood backward,
but it must be lived forward."

It was a quote I liked.

Wise words originally written by
Danish philosopher and theologian
Søren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855).
