To be or not to be is not the question;
The question is, to live or not to live.
Alive or dead or only vegetating,
One thing is sure, we cannot help but being.
To live! to be alive; to live intensely!
To live with every fibre of the frame,
With every sinew, every nerve and muscle;
To live like this, or not to live at all.
But we are cowards, we are fools and misers,
Afraid to live—afraid to pay the price—
