💬 Kierkegaard on the beautiful partnership between calling and correction, in Purity of Heart Is To Will One Thing:
A Providence watches over each man’s wandering through life. It provides him with two guides. The one calls him forward. The other calls him back. They are, however, not in opposition to each other, these two guides, nor do they leave the wanderer standing there in doubt. Rather the two are in eternal understanding with each other. For the one beckons forward to the Good, the other calls man back from evil. Of these two, the call of remorse is perhaps the best.
