   When you speak of we, you seem to be speaking of some.   
      
   Maybe your, so-called, we, includes everyone.   
      
   It's possible you are talking to yourself   
   and perhaps at least one, so-called, presumed, other.   
      
   And your assertion mite be true, or it mite be knot, arghh.   
      
   You could try talking to a mother, whose child was just killed.   
   See how well your, "We always have a choice ..."  technique works.   
      
   Maybe you can snap her out of her grief with your thumb   
   and give her your middle finger to create the snapping sound.   
      
   Perhaps her drama is a bit deeper than yours.   
   And you were one of the lucky ones.
