Experience is necessary for the learning. Whether you choose to be or not to be, you will probably do so arrogantly and falsely if you have not experienced the consequences of being or not being. Buddhist doctrine states that you must learn from suffering in order to live a more fulfilled life and to make more justified decisions. It is really up to you. If you choose to be, you will probably make a name for yourself quickly, while being admired by many and respected by few. Or you can suffer the slings and arrows and live a life of modesty, being much wiser and well respected in the end.

The question still needs to be answered I am afraid. And it is not until we have ceized to be that we can answer it. Tis only after experiencing both that we can find an answer to this, most subjective of questions.
As for the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, i believe that Hamlet ( or shakespeare to be more accurate) places a huge dillema on the person.
To stay back and let the problems of life simply move by or "to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them?".
I believe this too, as the first part of the question actually IS the question. For it is irrevocably linked to the subjectivity of the first part. It is tottaly interlinked with the asker's view of life whether he/she will act or simply react in his/her life as it is with whether he/she will prefer to be or simply not to be...
Ok, it sounds a bit chaotic, but in all it comes up to four different combinations of persons.
To be and to suffer. -> A person that live life as it is, but lives a passive life, has a neutral view and does not question it or what he/she finds on the path he/she walks.
To be and to take arms. -> A person that likes life and takes an active part in living it. A person that takes life into his/her own hands and takes an active approach towards any and all apsects of life
Not to be and suffer. -> This is the most pessimistic of views, persons that do not like life and simply endure it as a burden or even a torment. They take a completely inactive role in life.
Not to be and take arms. -> Here is the person that struggles to change what he/she likes not. Unfortunately things may turn even worse than before, or simply the person might still not be satisfied after the changes, but will keep fighting.
As for me... I do believe that "concience makes cowards of us all". And if i am to be or not, i prefer not to think of it as such. I prefer "to sleep; perchance to dream"....
And everything else can follow....

Perhaps if we suffer these slings and arrows more readily the world would be a safer place to live in. Now that is the question!

To be or not to be madly in love is not a question for some and you have to suffer the arrows. It is part of the package.

..... of outrageous fortune or whether, by taking arms, oppose them. If only we could all take arms and oppose outrageous fortune. However, bad luck just happens and once it's happened it's too late to fight it. Shakespeare was famous I know but as a philosopher he was a non-starter.

It's better........... To be. That shows some initiative. It shows some adventuresome attitude.. To attempt to do something and failed at it i;s so much better than to admit defeat and not venture into anything at all.
