To be or Not to be?

Question

Why was this the question?

Answer 1

Read Schopenhauer...........

"The essential purport of the world-famous monologue in Hamlet is, in condensed form, that our state is so wretched that complete non-existence would be decidedly preferable to it. Now if suicide actually offered us this, so that the alternative "to be or not to be" lay before us in the full sense of the words, it could be chosen unconditionally as a highly desirable termination ("a consummation devoutly to be wish'd" [Act III, Sc. I.]). There is something in us, however, which tells us that this is not so, that this is not the end of things, that death is not an absolute annihilation"

Answer 2

It has to do with what you ultimately prefer|


In the movie the Fifth Element, there is a sphere of evil - absolute evil|||||

Its purpose is not to fight over money or power, but to exterminate life - all forms of life|


It cannot be measured - all calibers are overshot - because IT PREFERS NOT TO BE|
