Hamlet was hearing voices and seeing ghosts.
The fact of any particular person's existence is astonishing when one considers all the things that could have prevented it from happening. One small example that can be repeated for each of my ancestors: There were millions of sperm racing to fertilize the egg my mother released the month of my conception. I am the result of that race. It could have gone quite a few million different ways.
Why is there something instead of nothing? If it can happen, it will happen.

Is it really even a question? How does one go about not being? Can you actualy remove yourself from the equation totaly? Perhaps if you were nothing and someone asked you if you wanted "to be or not to be" then they had already tricked you into being.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to — 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life,
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.

To be is to exist. To exist is to live. Therefore, I live and I choose to be.
