shakespeare was buddhist?

I've only recently begun acquire a taste for Shakespeare. His prose was too dense and archaic for my wandering adolescent mind. Instead, I chose to focus on integrals and periodic tables. I chose the weathered path and trust me, it has made all the difference. While I sit at home, alone, surfing the net on a cold and rainy night, my peers are off giving precedence to sin, debauchery, and decadence and were he still alive, I imagine William would be going shot for shot this very minute…a bientot.

jobez a lone wolf.

from hamlet....

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? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
