He looked very handsome and was clearly eloquent with words. It strikes me as interesting that he felt so alone, probably the source of much of his anxiety. He once said "I'm so misunderstood, that people misunderstand me even when I tell them I'm misunderstood" This misunderstanding is what shows us how deep his mind must have truly been.

“he’s one of the few philosophers one can turn to when the world has badly let us down, and we’re in need of a friend who can fully understand the dark places we’re in once the sentimental illusions, that normally keep us going, fall away.” that was emotional.

I just finished my senior seminar for my undergraduate degree. My subject was how Kierkegaard and Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman connect. I want to thank this video and channel for inspiring me so many years ago to become interested in Kierkegaard. Thank you.

Kirkegaard means cemetery. Quite ironic.
