💬 Kierkegaard on hypocrisy, deception, and trusting others (a personal favorite of mine) from Works of Love:
“But he who gets busy tracking down hypocrites, whether he succeeds or not, should be certain that this also is not hypocrisy, for such investigations are hardly the fruits of love. He, on the other hand, whose life really bears its own fruit will, without wishing it and without trying, unmask or even shame every hypocrite who comes near him; but one who loves will perhaps not even be conscious of this.”
