投石弓箭與海量的煩惱

許多人知道to be or not to be, 但不知其question所指為何。以下為原文:

   To be, or not to be: that is the question:
   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?[1]

忍受逆境, 還是拿起武器抵抗(一說是至死)? 人生的問題莫過於此。
