To be or not to be that's the question

As William Shakespeare's Hamlet so aptly put it, "To be or not to be" is an interesting statement. In fact he says it whilst holding the skull of Yorick which acts as a memento mori to him, that all things must come to an end, all things must die. So what is it 'to be' if we are all destined for the same eternal nothingness witnessed before our birth? As Hamlet found when questioning himself, 'to be' is to have a sense of purpose, his was to ensure the freedom from tyranny and slavery of the Danish people albeit trading one tyrant for another (Norway).

So the real question is not to be or not to be but rather 'why'?
