Fear And Trembling

So I’ve been dabbling in Kierkegaard again. Sometimes, during my lunch break, I have a prawn sandwich and consider the nature of despair and guilt. Kierkegaard focused much of his work on the conflict of concrete human reality over abstract thinking. He stressed the importance of the self, and the self's relation to the world as being grounded in self-reflection and introspection. In highlighting the importance of personal choice and responsibility he reminds me of Camus and the philosophy of the Absurd. And this self-creation of meaning in an absurd universe makes me wonder if I really do need some cargo pants. I mean, would Kierkegaard have worn cargo pants had they been around in his time? And if so, as casual-smart or just while lounging around writing The Sickness Unto Death? I don’t agree with facile nihilism but somehow I think draw-string pants are just asking for trouble.
