A Tale told by an Idiot

To Shakespeare life is nothing but a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing. This may sound true but life is indefinable and it sure defies any definite definition. Life remains a mystery adding up much charm to it. Nobody is willing to snap ties with life till the last breath even under difficult circumstances save for a few who become despondent and lost their grip with life. Life is lived once in spite of the claims by some that one has seven lives to live. I wonder what makes life special and makes us cling on to it even under the most trying circumstances.

You say: to Shakespeare life is nothing but a tale told by an idiot full of sound... You do not agree with that. But.. you also say: ... for a few who become despondent and lost their grip with life. Now I ask you: how come what Shakespeare said (or said at a certain point which doesn't mean this is his opinion but will make people think for sure!) doesn't count but your opinion about a few people who become despondent etc.. does count? Sorry but this doesn't make sense to me. I think life is a tale, I do believe that if you look at your life like a tale (or soap if you like) you see the lessons and know the answers and it will give you an other view on it. The same way tales are invented/told. They have a message as well. They should not be taken literally, one have to be able to read between the lines. They are also there to make one think plus these tales are stories about human beings and their life. A part of the people may cling to life, others do not care. They have finished their task already. I doubt the clinging to life has to do anything with what makes life special. It's more instinct, like an animal will fight for his life as well when it's in need. It's basic instinct. Although many people do not like to hear this since they think they are better as animals and way higher.

What I want to drive home is that life cannot be defined in clear-cut terms. Life remains a mystery whether you fathom out what others say about life or understand them at a superficial level. Thanks for the comment.
