2 be?

"to be or not to be" -a famous line from shakespeare's "Hamlet". A line that I contradicted during my "Works of Shakespeare" class back in College. Many of them (including my dean and some of my classmates) was awed in disbelief when I disagree with this statement. I said that we're grown ups and old enought to know what's right from what's wrong. I insisted that a person should be responsible enought to know what is the right decision and should know and stand up for the consequences of every action he has to take..

Sadly, Shakespeare turned out to be right... There are things that we thought we can handle and we assume on every outcome. We jump into conclusions.

Even grown ups are faced with such dillemas that are out of their control. There are such conflicts that leaves us cluless, unable to decipher the ending but we need to choose. Life is a very complex obstacle.. a never ending cycle. We can end up with something we don't expect, regardless what we choose or which side we take..

But one thing I learn, that there is no certainty in this world, we may be given several options to choose, it's up to us. the only thing is that we can only choose one and there's got to be no turning back. Just don't expect that you'll end up with what you've anticipated. we don't usually get what we prefer. Don't also be hard on yourself if you learn that what you did not pick is the best one you could have....

I once thought that everything happen according to what's destined for us but what as we grow, as we move on, we have to ask ourselves the question to be or not to be...

In everything that we do, we have to deeply think and considerwhat is good not only for ourself but for everyone... Not all what we want or desired can be and should be attained.. not all what we hoped for would always be wha'ts best for us...
