William Shakespeare

To be or not to be?

To be or not to be? That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them? To be, and to live is the course of nature, yet to not be, and to not live is the course of fate. The choice of which to take is a great challenge, yet 'tis one that must be faced. If one chooses to be, then one must face the trials and tribulations of life, and the many misfortunes that one may encounter. But if one chooses not to be, then one must accept the consequences of not living, and all the heartache and sorrow that comes with it. Yet, what if one chooses to not be and to not live, yet still finds joy in life? Then what? Is there still happiness to be found in a world of sorrow and despair? Surely, one can still find solace in the simple pleasures of life, and in the beauty of the natural world, and in the companionship of friends. To be or not to be? That is the question. One must decide which path to take, and then follow it with courage and conviction. For in the end, it is one's own choice that will determine one's destiny.
