Hello, everyone.
I've been reading Self-reliance Emerson wrote.
In the middle of the book, there is a sentence that:
"Inasmuch as the soul is present, there will be power not confident but agent."
Before the sentence, the book says we should trust ourself, not conform to society.
But why does the book say suddenly "there will be power not confident but agent"?
I understood the sentenc such as: as long as the soul in within you, you will have acting power, not confident power.
Does it contradict the opinion that we should thrust ourself ?
Or, does the sentence have any different meaning, not what I understood?
