That little quote not only woke me up to some of the reality of Jesus teachings and our everyday mission work on earth, but it also gives serious import for caring about what others think. Sickness unto Death, which, while describing the self s relation to itself and to God, considers the lack of one s expression of opinion a serious fault in the self s understanding of itself. Kierkegaard warns us not to keep our thoughts to ourselves, lest we become inbred in the head. We need disagreements to keep us thinking about ourselves in relation to God and others. Yet one of the most important considerations for approaching any argument or article with an opinion is that the rhetoric, organized or not, is just that, and is not as important or effective as real-world decision making and their deeds.
Words have that potential to inflate our purposes and idealize situations too quickly.
In conclusion, I d like to express a small, harmless opinion or two about the first day of school. Now these are exciting times. The useless piece of bread in the middle of the burger is just not there anymore. Please, let Burger King know your appreciation for their efforts in finally bringing you a real Big Mac imitation that isn t dry on the beef and soggy on the bun. They sure were proud to wear their robes and hats.
