Concerning the many deeply rooted and challenging troubles of the day faced by society, families and individuals alike; if William Shakespeare were alive and blogging today, with his being the artist and writer (as well as the activist or social critic, whom I think) he truly was, would he rather have had Hamlet pondering:
"To WM or not to WM, --that is the question:--instead of pondering
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?"
"To be or not to be, --that is the question:--Or would he have gone farther and deeper into these matters, challenging such things on a much broader level?
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?"
Who knows really? Does it matter? What do you think?
It is simply a thought, probably not an original one either, that somehow found its way into my thinking from out of the blue and is, using my own version of a very dry Massachusetts sense of humor of course, also just a little tongue in cheek as well.
