Soliloquy


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 heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. 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 enterprise of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action. -- Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia! -- Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered.





Should i continue to exist or not
would i think more highly of myself if i just suffer
all the trials of bad luck
or if i go against the tide(meaning life)
and just end my life
it would stop all the heart ache
and all the bad surprises life brings
the difference between sleeping and dying is dreams
when you die you don't dream
that's what makes life so long
so why suffer if you can die and ease the pain
some people would rather deal with life than the uncertainty of where they will go after 
when we retire from life we will be worthless
why worry about the burdens in life
when there is uncertainty about the after life
the after life is an unknown place from which 
travelers never return
maybe it is better to keep living rather than dying
and going to some unknown place
the thought of the great endeavors slur the "native hue of resolution"
it makes you sick just trying to imagine it
at some point the troubles of life will go away though
so Ophelia please remember me in your prayers
