Life or Death

Labels:
To be, or not to be, that is the question.

As Shakespeare asks in Hamlet, is it better to live or die? Is it better to keep battling with life's challenges than to surrender and embrace death? On the other hand, isn't living just because you are not dead like everybody else, a form of inaction or running away? If life is always a misery, isn't it cowardice to bear it silently? Why not revolt? Why not challenge your fate? Why not refuse to suffer and see what death has for us?

Even if someone is dormant, still it is better for that person to live than to die, since if someone is alive silently, there is a chance that, that person will raise the voice someday. If someone is already dead, that probability is lost. As per the situation is, one may or may not revolt today. However, death brings us to point after which, the questions may still remain, however the answers will be all lost.
I guess if there is an option for someone to choose between life and death, then the person must be opportunist and select life.


Thanks a lot for trying to provide a logical solution to a philosophical question. This kind of mix-up always makes the discussion interesting. To take it forward, here are my comments:

As Budda said, "Life is suffering". No one could ever escape this suffering. So why wait, just to suffer a bit less some day? Hopefully!


{If someone is already dead, that probability is lost.}

I think the assumption that you are making here is that everything is finished after we die, which might not be true. Why not be more courageous and look forward to death. This to me seems more positive attitude then to just wait for lesser suffering someday.

You might be right but you might be wrong as well! Why not explore the unknown instead rather than just suffering the known agony. It’s a risk but worth taking, at least on paper. You need courage to actually implement it though!


I disagree with what Mr Shakespeare believed that the end of suffering is death and not life.

People have lived a successful and a happy life with the right attitude, hardwork and all that it requires to be so.

People have helped others who belive life is a crap and who commit suicides.

Its just a question to ponder over. And fortunately/unfortunately you can’t agree or disagree with a question :)

You seems to have missed the point altogether.


maut to ek labz hai beimani, jisko mara hayat ne mara..
