Kierkegaard

In reflection about both Nietzsche and Kierkegaard each have different methods for thinking when it comes to the human condition, with Nietzsche thinking of the Will to Power and Kierkegaard thinking about his atheistic, and faith stages "the teleological suspension of the ethical". However I found the ways they understand this things are not opposites. Nietzsche tends to focus on the present and how to find fulfillment as a human, Kierkegaard focuses on attempting to escape this suffering through religion. I found that Nietzsche's argument seemed more reasonable but that Kierkegaard's argument was more applicable. Faith is important to groups of people around the world. It doesn't matter whether his theory is correct, the idea that one can scape their troublesome life through faith is appealing and in some odd way more realistic than following ones own desires. Faith gives many a motivation to live, the idea that there is soemthing bigger than you and that your individual life has value. Though I found Nietzsche's philosophy more convincing and reasonable, it also seems depressing. Kierkegaard's philosophy didn't really contain much reasoning or facts but it seemed "nice" the idea that all we need to do is trust in a higher power, I found it comforting and interesting, though I don't know if I could ever reach the highest state of any of these philosophies.
