The knight of faith remains faithful even in the face of doubt and uncertainty from "summary" of Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard
The knight of faith is one who possesses a paradoxical faith, a faith that surpasses understanding and reason. This knight is not a mere believer; rather, he is someone who is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, to relinquish everything for the sake of his faith. This faith is not a blind faith, but a deep and profound trust in the divine, in the absolute. It is a faith that is tested and tried, a faith that endures even in the face of doubt and uncertainty. The knight of faith is someone who is willing to take a leap of faith, to embrace the absurd, the paradoxical. He is someone who is willing to risk everything, to stake everything on his faith. He is someone who is willing to defy conventional wisdom, societal norms, and even morality itself in the name of his faith. He is someone who is willing to go against the crowd, to stand alone if necessary, in order to remain true to his faith. The knight of faith is not a hero or a saint; he is a solitary figure, a tragic hero who is misunderstood and unappreciated by the world. He is someone who is willing to bear the burden of his faith, to suffer for the sake of his faith. He is someone who is willing to endure the anguish and the despair of doubt and uncertainty, knowing that his faith will ultimately be vindicated. The knight of faith is not a model for imitation; he is a figure of inspiration, a reminder of the power and the beauty of faith. He is someone who challenges us to reconsider our own beliefs, our own values, our own lives. He is someone who invites us to take a leap of faith, to embrace the paradoxical, the absurd, the divine. He is someone who reminds us that faith is not a rational choice, but a passionate commitment, a profound trust, a deep and abiding love.
