To be or not to be is not the question

I have been thinking of putting down these thoughts which keep boggling my mind often.By the way, I know I am not the only one :) I am not sure if I will really be able to express it, but I think its worth a try atleast...

Sometimes in life, one feels empty. So empty, that to be or not to be no more remains a question. The dilemna looms in your head in a form larger and fiercer than ever before. The question then asks...

Why be?

This question is so unabbreviated, crystal and intriguing that a person who is able to answer it for himself has probably known his purpose of life. Or may be he -solved- his purpose of life. The second facet that I sometimes attach to it, a more scientific and rational one, (the former being a philosophical n divine one) is that may be its the Charles Darwin's theory in operation leading to the concept of "Survival of the Fittest". Each one is trying to prove himself as the fittest so that he 'survives', this is what appears to be the superficial and supposed purpose of life on earth. The definition of "Survive" or "Fittest", to me emerges to be a subjective one, implying different meaning to different beings. But then again, I ask myself...

Why survive?

Well, the beauty of this problem is that it has no single outcome or may be no outcome at all. I leave it for you to think...if at all you want to!
