Important questions were asked in this episode, getting really close to my fav one.

The term from the first title "The Sickness unto Death" refers to a Kierkegaard book of the same title, which explores concepts of selfhood. Kierkegaard refers to the quote in the gospel of John referencing Lazarus, "This sickness is not unto death." Extrapolating, he posits that the "Sickness unto Death" is despair caused by not being able to align one's selfhood in relation to one's creator. He says that to be a true "self" one must understand that the source of selfhood is the love of one's creator. He names three forms of despair: one where a person is ignorant to the innate self that was and continues to be created outside of the immediate experience of reality, one where a person does realize they have a self but finds this realization of selfhood too painful and so arranges their life to ignore and avoid it and live as though ignorant, and one where a person is aware of their eternal selfhood but is not willing to acknowledge the dependance of that selfhood on love/one's creator. Kierkegaard considered this final form to be the most heightened form of despair. To not be in despair, one must reconcile the self with the creator and with love, the finite with the infinite. He says "In relating itself to itself, and in willing to be itself, the self rests transparently in the power that established it."
