Hamlet
To be or not to be
Is the question "to be or not to be" the most important question we can ask ourselves?
Do you think it is as relevant today as when it was first written?

In context, Hamlet is considering the value of life over death.... a lifetime that includes pain and suffering, or a deep sleep that ends it all. This phrase, or rather the entire soliloquy, is as apt today, as it was when Shakespeare wrote it. Humanity continues to ponder this question, humanity continues to suffer and question its own purpose, and humanity continues to ponder the afterlife.
