√4b²

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?
(Hamlet III,i)

So what is better? Keeping a stiff upper lip and taking it all in stride, or standing up and fighting the endless barrage of crap that presents itself? Of course reality invovles a little of both, and sometimes we make the wrong choice between these two options. That's the problem. Which slings and arrows do we quietly suffer and which troubles do we take up arms against?
