The idea Kierkegaard has concerning despair is very interesting. He says that despair is universal, sin, and that there is no outward despair; it all comes from the soul. I would agree the the first: despair is universal. However, the second and third are worth delving into. I disagree with Kierkegaard that despair is a sin, for Jesus experienced despair previous to His crucifixion, and He has no fault. The idea that despair comes from the internal being and cannot stem from physical attributes such as pain intrigues me, but I am also willing to accept it, because I see no reason not to. Despair is much deeper than that of surface level pain, and can only be experienced when dealing with Spirituality and the soul.
I commented on Justin Fobel's.
