Answer 1

1. Most important life lesson: Be true to yourself

2. This question basically asks 'Is life worth living?' According to Hamlet, all we have in life is one painful experience after another. Only death ends our suffering and, therefore, death is something to be wished for.

3. Getting bitten by a snake would be less painful than having an ungrateful child.

4. Things change in the blink of an eye.

5. You can't think with your mind and your heart at the same time. Therefore, your actions are going to be driven either by rational thought or emotions, but never both.

Answer 2

1 It is most important to be true to yourself

2 Is it better to live or not to live?

3 It is dangerous/bad to have/be a thankless child. Meaning give thanks :D

Hope this helps, take care :D
