The people who know me knows that I have a huge passion for Søren Kierkegaard. I just found this Kierkegaard quote on my old blog: "Among all ridiculous things it seems to me that the most ridiculous is to be busy, to be a man who hastens when he eats or does his errant in a quick manner. When I see a fly land on such a businessman’s nose, or mud is thrown at him by the acceleration of a yet hastier car passing by, or Knippelsbro Copenhagen Bridge is blocked for the sake of a boat passing under it, or a stone fall down from a house and kills him, then I laugh out of full loungs. Who could bare himself or herself for not laughing? What good do they accomplish these people of hasting? Do they not end up like that old woman who, from sudden stupefaction of finding out that her house is burning, rescues nothing else than the chimney iron? What else do they rescue from of Life’s big fire?".

The orginal Danish text: "Af alle latterlige Ting forekommer det mig at være det allerlatterligste at have travlt i Verden, at være en Mand, der er rask til sin Mad og rask til sin Gjerning. Naar jeg derfor seer en Flue i det afgjørende Øieblik sætte sig paa en saadan Forretningsmands Næse, eller han bliver overstænket af en Vogn, der i endnu større Hast kjører ham forbi, eller Knippelsbro gaaer op, eller der falder en Tagsteen ned og slaaer ham ihjel, da leer jeg af Hjertens Grund. Og hvo kunne vel bare sig for at lee? Hvad udrette de vel, disse travle Hastværkere? Gaaer det dem ikke som det gik hiin Kone, der i Befippelse over, at der var Ildløs i Huset, reddede Ildtangen? Hvad Mere redde de vel ud af Livets store Ildebrand?".
