By helping others, he let the child live in his home, let his heart be freed, and then unconsciously give himself permission not to meet his own standards. To sum up, The smoldering of interest led him to a path of no return. His behavior made his family shameful, and his mother’s funeral was not able to participate. How helpless he was at that time. Because he performed well in prison, he was released in advance. As his moral compensation, he accepted various interviews and went to various lectures to tell his behavior at the time.
