After that last post I picked up 'Purity of Heart is to will one thing' by Kierkegaard, a slender volume that I was going to finish this holiday, after failing to give it its due lo these many years.
"Is not despair simply double- mindedness? For what is despairing other than to have two wills? For whether the weakling despairs o er not being able to wrench himself away from the bad, or the brazen despairs of never being able to tear himself completely away from the good: they are both double-minded - they have two wills."
My early attempts to read this book (and SK elsewhere) obviously left traces.
