Hamlet

[Beyond]

To be, or not to be, that is the question:
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;

This aways make me though in suicide

When I was very little, maybe second grade, the agenda books we were given had a quote for each week. One of them was, "To be or not to be, that is the question", and I was a bit fascinated by it. I remember not being sure what it meant. Was it really a contemplation of suicide on our school dayplanner? But then I figured whatever it meant, it must be excused by nature of it being Shakespeare.
