TO QUESTION OR NOT TO QUESTION
"To be or not to be that is the question." | |
|
Many of Earth’s animals are in a state of existence but are no more aware than the microchips that make up this computer. Many animals, just function, they use what little brains they have to gather/hunt/procreate etc... They do exist when they are alive and even still exist when they are dead, so therefore Existence doesn’t equal Life. Perhaps existence equals physical presence? So I guess that means it IS a state of BEING. So we have come full circle sort of. To Be is to Exist, thus to exist is To BE! On the other hand, Not To Be would mean being in a state of non-existence. That is a really bizarre concept. It’s just too mind boggling to conceive of. Perhaps it is one of life’s mysteries that we are never supposed to know. If that is the case, then most would stop trying, but there would be a few diehards that wouldn’t give up until they have found something. They would spend their lives searching for the unsearchable. Trying to find something that didn’t exist. The goose chase would definitely be a wild one, but they wouldn’t care, because of their strong belief of their goal. Perhaps a few would be fooled by something that they thought was what they wanted, but really wasn’t. Would they be fools? Would they be idiots? Or would they be considered quite normal, like everybody else? Who knows the answer to that question and many others? As I said earlier existence DOES NOT equal Life, so Not To Be DOES NOT mean being Dead. It would have to mean not being physical, and yet spirits exist and are not physical. Argh! There goes that argument out the window. I guess I’m back to square one. Story Origin/Inspiration: This came about while I was thinking about the "Not To Be" part of Shakespeare's "To Be Or Not To Be" speach from Hamlet.
