In case you didn't get that ^, perhaps this will clear things up:
"The self is a relation that relates itself to itself or is the relation's relating itself to itself in the relation; the self is not the relation but is the relation's relating itself to itself. A human being is a synthesis of the infinite and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and necessity, in short, a synthesis. A synthesis is a relation between two. Considered in this way, a human being is still not a self."
Soren Kierkegaard

Way back in the dark ages when I was in college, we were assigned Kierkegaard. What a joke.
“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)

I think they must’ve smoked that wacky-terbacky way back in Kierkegaard’s day, too. How else could someone make things so clear.....?? 😎
