Anything is possible

 

There’s a common if rather trite bit of folk wisdom that tells us to live each day as if it’s our last. Yet that ignores the other side of possibility: it might not be your last day at all. For Kierkegaard, earnestness amounts instead to “the living of each day as if it were the last and also the first in a long life”.

The challenge is not to cling to certainty, nor to give in to nihilism, but the more challenging one of living as if anything is possible. Because, as we’re rapidly learning, it really is.

Gordon Marino on Kierkegaard 

(isto vem a propósito de uma conversa com o meu amigo A. ter mudado o meu estado de espírito que estava muito pessimista e um bocado desanimado no longo prazo - se uma pessoa olhar as coisas de outra perspectiva, tudo é possível)
