I was never interested in Kierkegaard's personal life. Today I read this:

Kierkegaard told Emil Boesen, a friend since childhood, who kept a record of his conversations with Kierkegaard, that his life had been one of immense suffering, which may have seemed like vanity to others, but he did not think it so.

I downloaded his biography. Very interested to learn more about the man's life. #Kierkegaard
