The original question, if anyone actually took the time to care, was because Hamlet was mulling over his own suicide. "To be," i.e. to continue existing, or "not to be," to end his own existence.
If "to be or not to be" in this context is the question you want answered...well, since it's a crime to advocate suicide in many states, I must very, very reluctantly advise you "to be."

Its an interesting question and one can take it to mean many different things. I have never read hamelett, not a fan of Mr William Shakespear. Is it that i choose to be one or choose to not be one? Now that is the question.... At the end of the day its to do with some choice...

I think you didn't even read Hamlet, because that's the type of people who use the usual verses again and again shown on all modes of communication."To read or not to read, acting smart in the process with a famous phrase, is it a reputable act?"

I think it should be every individual's right "not to be". Jack Kevorkian had some strange ways, but for the most-part he was a world-shaker.

Although I never asked myself the question, I know I AM.

Be. It's more interesting that way.
Hamlet was a wuss. A procrastinator.

To be is rather to exist.... rather to take chances, per chance to adventure and dream.....
not to be is to ceast to be.... rather to have no breath within and to dream no more forever.......
I'd say..... just be.......
