to be, or not to be; the question of predestiny

March 12, 2009

 

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

 

Ah, yes. The famous soliloquy of Hamlet, written by the brilliant Shakespeare. The universal question of life and death, struggle and acceptance.

Oftentimes, we are confronted by decisions, some trivial and some make or break. Some people at some times think they can rule their lives by making the right choices and doing the right things. True enough, this happens to a few. For the many left disillusioned, here comes my next thought. Life is driven by fate, how little or how much I do not know; perhaps, it varies. Ah, uncertainty once again. That we rule our lives or that we don’t, I cannot say matter-of-factly yet. Frustration is borne out of uncertainty (not adventure) of one’s own life.

Some people think they’d be this or that if they do this or that. And some people hardly do a thing and be some strove hard to be. Sometimes you feel like ornamental grasses in an elaborate stage. Or a feather being blown by the wind. In the intrinsic pattern of the weave, how does it feel to be one insignificant thread?
