If acting comes from oneself, there is no need to be courageous. You have to make a decision to work hard. It's not your own business because when you need to decide to work hard, it's not your own business. So, because it's your own business, you don't need to make a decision. That's why Hermann said that. He said he wanted to experience what comes out from within. But why was it so difficult? Why does it come out from within? Questions like dreams are never made because they are personal issues. It's not something that comes from the sky or is made by listening to some lecture. If it turns out like this, there might be cases where it doesn't match well with oneself. In that case, maybe you always have to act. That's what I think.

어떤 소명의식으로, 자신을 어떻게 불태울 것인가
하는 철학적 차원의 각성이 있습니다."
