"to be or not to be"
life's tragicomedy dilemma
if being is sublime
what does non-being hold for us?!
the dead don't explain anything to us
the living pretend to know nothing
and don't pay attention to us
we are alone and silent
waiting for nothing to happen
"this is the question"

///

"ser ou não ser"
dilema da tragicomédia da vida
se o ser é sublime
o que nos reserva o não ser?!
os mortos nada nos explicam
os vivos fingem nada saber
e não nos dão atenção
ficamos sós e silenciosos
à espera de nada sermos
"eis a questão"

I love this Armando. In a chaotic world confusion reigns:-))) Sadly I cannot answer the question either - I am having enough trouble with "To do or not to do" :-)

Excellent words and thoughts. I guess we will only know when we reach the 'not to be' stage!

Best wishes to you both
