To Be Or Not To Be?

 To be or not to be. A question that puzzles us all. Poor Hamlet suffered from this dilemma. Is it better to go against the offender or is it better to withstand the pains that it has brought him. As we enlarge this to a more bigger aspect we see that our quest of living are brought down to these choices. Is it better to be. For being is the way we have thought to see life, living as human "beings". Therefore not to be would require one to stop being one self. So can it even be possible to refrain from being. "For who would bear the whips and scorns of time. The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, the pangs of despised love,the law's delay, the insolence of office and spurns." Is Hamlet claiming that it may be impossible to "Suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." Are we all destine to suffer Hamlet's fate?
