life’s examination
See to it that you take your life’s examination, obediently submitting to the final test, to be sacrificed. Don’t worry about the ill treatment that will be meted out to you by your contemporaries. No, see to it that you take your examination. If you take it, this is eternally and infinitely decisive. Maybe it will then happen, maybe not, that an individual in the next generation can be inspired by your life to be willing to take his life’s examination. There will happen to him what happened to you, and perhaps in thinking of you he will find some encouragement.
Kierkegaard
