   I might not know who anyone's, "we" happens to be   
   when someone uses the first-person plural pronoun, nor why.   
   Perhaps that one is seeking agreement   
   for some insecurity.   
      
   Realizing a view of how nothing matters,   
   it doesn't matter how high or less than highest high one aims.   
      
   When it is known there is no ultimate point nor purpose, one is free.   
      
   Being entirely free of, "having to aim"   
   one is free indeed.   
      
   Being liberated can be totally liberating.   
      
   Words, such as, enlightenment, freedom, liberation, et al   
   might mean something, or other, given a deep ending.   
      
   Knowing is a part of speech as it wells.
