According to Kierkegaard, truth is in fact subjective at times. This subjective truth lies hand in hand with the religious truth. The subjective thinker lives believing that happiness lies in religious faith and that this faith is inward; this type of thinker believes that faith is the key to eternal happiness. However, the only thing that is subjectively certain is the lack of knowledge, that we are all finite and the uncertainty that follows after. Furthermore, regardless of this lack of knowledge, we have this truth because of faith. This is what leads to its paradoxical nature. In part most of us are Knights of faith, because we believe in the uncertain.
