No, it's not!
I held that to be or not to be is not the question, because of some facts. Dialectically it is proved that everything "which is" is not at the same time. For example: I "am" Brazilian and I "am not" an US citizen.
Other: the fact of some having the possibilily of asking such question means that this same person "is".
If one asks, thinking in something else, "to be or not to be...", that same thing which was thought starts to be (in image or idea form).
I could bring here up other reasons to prove that "to be or not to be is not 'the' question", but a question only.
I wanna hear from you! Whom disagree with my statements???

Of course it's not the question! The most important question by far is :What shall we have for dinner?
Why?
Everyone has asked it.
It CAN be difficult to answer.
It has MANY different answers.
It is VITAL to survival.
It really makes you think.

"To be or not to be, that is the question..." but maybe it ain't the right question? Like, who really cares? That is a soliloquy, shared thoughts of an actor portraying a character with the audience... to consider suicide or live while suffering the ill-criticisms, reproaches, etc., of those around you... (Hamlet). Sophistry is easily recognized today as total and unadulterated b/s; the old saying back in the 60s was: "If you cannot dazzle them with wisdom, baffle them with b u l l s h i t," which is what you pretend to do but have failed miserably. Try somewhere else, bud; but, be more original next time.

this is the most "impactful" question a human being can wrestle with, this is the question which will shape world in my opinion. if one is up to shaping world that is.
If one is up to looking into their belly button and eating nachos it is a question of lesser value and becomes an cheap self indulgence at best!

The phrase in Hamlet refers to live or die, in the play this is the question to live or die. To continue with his life like that or it is better to stop it.

actually, "To be, or not to be..." , in reference to the famous soliloquy in HAMLET, is about him contemplating death/suicide.
