About This Quote

In the words of William Shakespeare, “It were better that we were not at all, than that we should live still in wickedness, and to suffer, and not to know wherefore.” This quote is a good example of someone who was facing a life full of pain and suffering. If he had chosen to give up at that point, then he may have been able to live a more pleasant existence. However, he chose instead to persevere through the pain and keep on fighting for as long as possible. It is far better to complete our mission on earth than it is to never have started it in the first place.
