Even so, the positive outlook of the cook seems to irk the correspondent somewhat during their

Sacrifices are always a tough thing for people in this world to make. Characters make sacrifices all the time throughout novels.

The significance of this line is not the fact that he did realize it had been destroyed, it’s the fact that he had to force himself to. No man who has come to terms with his obsessiveness should have to force themselves to see what’s right in front of them. To further emphasize, he shouldn’t receive any pats on the back for noticing that his foundered ship was indeed

Even more drastic, some tied in their religious beliefs and faith with their work ethic and/or national identity, which thought process Kierkegaard gives an example of: “How can you doubt that you are a Christian? Are you not a Dane…do you not perform you duties at the office like a conscientious civil servant; are you not a good servant of a Christian nation…so of course you must be a Christian.” Kierkegaard loathed how cold and detached the Christian faith had become, so he saw it fit that he remind people what being a Christian truly meant.
