"To be or not be that is the question" which Shakespeare's Hamlet posed. A dilemma, a crossroad which would go on decide the fate of things to come.
Rare are the instances when one takes a decision without facing a dilemma or a conflict. Rare are the times when one has no choices to make. In fact in the world of abundance there may be a negligible chance, if any, of not being at crossroads.
Take a look at all the possibilities, opportunities, choices et al. life throws at you and you will realize there is hardly any escaping it. The dilemmas, the conflicts, the crossroads one faces when making decision or a choice is definitely going to impact the way of the things to come. Good or bad, time alone will tell.
However, its also evident from the discoveries, inventions that have been made, one had to cross over to something that's new, untried and untested. This at the cost of being laughed at, termed insane or ridiculed. More importantly, at times, never quite sure yourself becomes the real test of being at the crossroads.
Hence herein comes dilemma of "to be or not be that is the question". For the intense the debate rages itself at such crossroads, the greater the resolve to explore the unknown. The greater the scrutiny and brutal the evaluation more the chances of success. The greater the detailed visualization of big picture when crossing over, the better the chances seeing things through and them falling in place. What happens at crossroads also chalks out measures for how far you have made from the time when you took the plunge.
Yet, what happens at crossroads is not everybody's cup of tea. More often than not one prefers to go with what is tried and tested over road less traveled, ambiguous and uncertain.
The one who does set out on this path has made his/her choice of sailing through, come what may. He/she has made the most and best of what juncture of crossroads offered.
