About That Søren Kierkegaard Quote Joe Biden Has Pinned to His Mirror
Politics has always been a nasty business that has brought out the worst in us. But if we have faith in the process, it can also allow our better sides to shine.
I rarely look forward to seeing what’s trending on Twitter.
Color me surprised, then, when I saw #Kierkegaard making the digital rounds.
Immediately, I thought to myself, “Why the hell is a 19th-century existentialist philosopher trending on a website best known for its lack of philosophical nuance?”
Turns out, Joe Biden’s wife keeps a quote of his taped to the mirror, which reads, “Faith sees best in the dark.”
I figured I’d use this once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity to actually write something in accordance with the trends, as who knows when another chance like this will arrive.
If you’re interested, you can check out the piece I wrote on another Kierkegaard quote awhile back.
But for today's purpose, I’ll focus on what Joe Biden finds relevant, as it relates to what many of us might be feeling amidst a bleak political discussion.
