This is a really encouraging comment I heard given in an interview with a TV actor from the 1960s who as a child in the 1940s was held in an internment camp for Japanese Americans. Two solders had come without prior notice and pounded violently at their door and took the family at gunpoint to a camp. The camp was surrounded by barbwire and at night a spotlight followed anyone who went outside to the latrine. Not the America they tell you about in school. Anyway, he was asked, what would you say now to that 5 year old boy. He said:
"Be optimistic, have hope. You may be behind barb wires but there will come a time when you will be able to make a contribution."
