Death, It's from Shakespeare's play, "Hamlet". Hamlet says, "To be or not to be, that is the question....."

When I was a kid, it was changed to physical ailments for fun.

TB (tuberculosis) congestion in the chest

TB or not TB, that is the congestion. Then we added - consumption (can something) be done about it.

consumption = old timed name for stomach ailments.

To be or not to be, that is the question. (Shakespeare)

TB or not TB , that is congestion. (kids)
Consumption be done about it.

Hamlet faced goading questions of mortality--questions of life and death--while gazing upon the skull of his late friend Yorik. This sudden grief drew from him a poignant question against his own existence, "to be or not to be?"

This question, obviously, resonates with us all because we all have asked it; and our individual answers designate how we will live or die.

I choose "to beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!"

Well said, thank you.

I actually think DeathsTreaty might like reading Hamlet.

He was, like, contemplating suicide. I've been there and done that, but I didn't get a cool soliloquy out of it, that's for sure.

To be saved and to not be a butthead anymore.

To establish relationships, not to be married too quick again, tho I'm thinking about it.
