To Be or Not to Be by John Herlihy it will never be, as it once was it will soon be as it will be it never was once destined to be it never will be once destined to be for years in the past never again to be for years in the future always ready to be whether to be or not to be in the future or in the past something as potential something never too last time is what it is first fire then fizz to be or not to be To be, then no longer me. - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Saturday 8 November 2025

Not only Shakespeare, but countless thoughts by poets, psychologists, prophets and psychologists have pondered what it is about our being.

I exist, therefore, I am. That's enough for me. I'll be here for my duration in this wonderful world we call human life.
