Which is more valid,
to be, or not to be,
or,
one for everyone, everyone for one?
First,
both are equally valid.
And second,
to be or not to be
is not a statement;
it is a question.
Yet what Shakespeare gives
is no question at all,
but a statement
disguised as a question,
a mirror held to being itself,
to awaken
the question within.
So then,
the answer is both.
Though one is a question,
and the other, a declaration,
they move together,
rising and falling
in the same motion,
the inhale
and exhale
of existence.
For only in the state
of absolute not to be
can one become everyone;
and only when everyone
dissolves
into that not-being,
can everyone
be
one.
