The Beginning

Everyone knows Shakespeares sentence: To be or not to be that is the question. Did some of you already think about the meaning of it?
No? Well start now, it might really get interesting.
On Wikipedia you will find some explanations to it. A word on suicide? A word on death as a way of not being anymore?
hmmmm ....... is that all?
Supposedly we still exist after death, so we still are, in whatever form. So do you really think that this is meant? I don't.
What does he mean with "to be" then?
For me personally it means the choice of being what we want. So if we decide not to be we are just not conscious of what we are. If we decide to be we decide what we are. Too complicated? The moment you decide who you are, it will be your decision and you will act upon your decision. If you don't decide who you are, you just are influenced by whatever thought might come up or whatever inflence from outside will cause you to act. Got it?
It took me a while to understand that I have to start being what I am to start fullfilling my decisions and start being who I really am. Now I am starting it and try to define who I really am. Come with me on my way of defining me and knowing who I am. I will tell you about it.
