++To be or not to be++?

Johnathan is wrong.

"42" - that is the answer. If you do not understand that, then you don't understand the question.

The world around us looks perfectly smooth and continuous as we grasp it through our five senses. But the fact is everything is far from being smooth and continuous. It is more like a cinema screen, where frames of still pictures moving at frequency in front of our eyes create impressions of real motion. The physical world is there in place because everything in the world exists in a vibration, with on and off states, just the way electricity exits in circuits of alternating current.

The physical matter exists in just one moment, and in the same moment it is not. This is how there is time, and this is how we are here to grasp the sights and sounds of our world. One could say the universe, and everything, is being created, and then destroyed, almost at once, in a single moment, where to be, or not to be, either, would be a state of eternity. But the mind, since it itself is based upon same principle, does not notice the switch, i.e. it does not notice when the phase changes.

We are conscious of the states of to be or not to be, but out consciousness is the state of to be and not to be all at once, or it is nothing. When Prince Hamlet in Shakespeare’s play utters these famous words in the moments of utter confusion, when his soul is being torn apart, his is not contemplating suicide but trying to invoke the very essence of his human consciousness.

Be :)

To be is to be what what you are and You are what you be. However if you are not than how could you see if you be.

Just a random grammatically incorrect pointless poem that seems to do with the subject in some way.

Well, Hamlet's answer is our answer too... "to be."

We keep going on, because, as Hamlet himself says, "... conscience does make cowards of us all..." because we would rather bear "those ills we have" rather than "fly to others that we know not of" after death. In other words, whether it's right or not, we tend to want to keep living, just out of habit, rather than to kill ourselves and escape the world.

Wrong; you are. you have to be to ask a question. So the true existential question is; Do I continue?

The answer you seek is answered in the following:

I think, If You Wish To Be, Or NOT Wish,Not To Be.

To be.

That is the answer.

you've gotta BE before you be!

you've gotta SEE before you see!
