Quote by Soren Kierkegaard

Worldly wisdom thinks that love is a relationship between man and man. Christianity teachers that love is a relationship between: man-God-man, that is, that God is the middle term.

Summary

This quote implies that there is a fundamental difference in understanding love between worldly wisdom and Christianity. Worldly wisdom considers love as a connection solely between individuals, while Christianity teaches that love is a relationship that involves God as a central aspect. It suggests that no matter how beautiful, complete, and admired a love relationship between people may be, it falls short unless it includes a connection to the divine. This emphasizes the belief that God's presence strengthens and elevates human relationships, making them more profound and meaningful.
