I do think that some of us began to realize that this was going to be a long struggle that was going to go on for decades, and you'd have to knuckle down. A lot of people in our generation did that. They didn't drop out and run away.
My family immigrated when I was 3, and our predecessors inhabited the Korean Peninsula for as long as can be recalled.

If you live in the mountains, you long for the trees and the lakes.
You see people in the left lane, and as long as they are on the speed limit, they stay there. Get in the right lane and let people pass you - let the police worry about somebody who wants to speed.
