Shakespeare's To be or not to be is terse and laconic.
But the inclination contained is profound. Even the BBC always discuss upon the question, what implied meaning does this sentence exactly mean?
Come to think of it, not to mince words, I opine, this sentence mostly means: to fight against life or to give up living.
There are many living standard, styles, you can enjoy living, living on your own, beg a living, be given a living, and to create your own living, but not let life dominates you, be not a slave of life. Free is the utmost life pursuit, although there are actually no sheer freedom in this world.
There are many choices we must face during life time. Life is a hardship. The only question is how you overcome life, or have yourself overcome.
Life is a lifelong struggle, fight to the bitter end, hard working maybe a delight. Hard working will never be meaningless, put win or lose for a while.
Never say die, when feel tired, you will in the end make something important of yourself. Even fail, feel no remorse.
Love life? then put up a fight, however your endeavour will make a difference.
