Luyện nghe bài hát Reflections upon the Distress and Agony of Faith

If you respect yourself and worry your soul you know you
must live a stricter and more retired life than a virgin in a
maiden's bower. It is true that are those who need to be
forced and tamedand who would tumble about wild beasts in
lustful frenzy if they were free. It is true and you can see it
now, close at your neighbour's house. But you have to show
that you are not one of that kind, by about it with anguish
and fear. And you must with awe about the holy things, the
great eternal truths, so that they be forgotten. If you can't
understand their horrors, nor can you see greatness.
Now consider the distress and agony of the paradox of faith:
The hero acts to gain fame and glory for himself. The knight
of faith up his individuality to become the common man,
become"Everyman". It all on the will. If you think it's
easy enough to be a man, sufficient to yourself, you can be
sure you are not a of faith.

Wild birds and wandering are not the true knights. These
know how it is to belong to the common.

The true knight also knows how pleasant and it is to be
an individual who, so to speak, himself into a clean, neat
and flawless edition , readable to each and everyone. He knows
it is to be understandable to everybody, as well as he
also understands the truths, and both of them rejoice in
their shared confidence of the common. He assure that it's
to be born as a separate individual who is at home in the
common, the kind and lasting place on Earth, will receive
him with open arms, when he finally to rest there. But he
also that far beyond this there is a lonely, narrow and steep
path, winding its way the wilderness. He knows what it
would be like to be outside the common world and to have to
alone without meeting a single soul. He knows quite well
where he is and what his relation to other is like.

From a human point of view he is insane and
with anybody. To put it mildly: he is as mad as a
hatter. If he isn't regarded as he is a hypocrite and the further
he along the way the worse hypocrisy.

The knights of know how engulfing it is to give themselves
up for the sake of the common. Courage is needed, but is
also a feeling of confidence since it is for man. He knows
what a thing it is to be understood by every truthful noble
man, and by so be nobler in the mind himself. All this he
knows and as if committed to this faith. He would like to
think that would be his mission of life...
