No you misunderstood my point and responded by drawing conclusions about me. You make a point about not judging and there you go.

I am not sure why Hamlet (a fictional story) is of significance to you, but you seem to relate to it and see something in it that we as human beings face regularly especially when we approach politics (considering the title of this thread).
Bundokji is correct to return to the Four Noble Truths on this. Hamlet's noted "apathy" was really a complex mask of negative emotions that appeared as indecision and despair but was really rage and a commitment to revenge. This was possibly hidden even from himself. Most (all?) of Shakespeare's tragedies are like this - beneath the surface a commitment to action has been made that unfolds later with extreme consequences.

Hamlet should have revealed the court corruption and his knowledge of his father's murder without initiating the cycle of death in his revenge and then left the palace to become a hermit (for the time) or possibly a cleric or a wandering knight righting wrongs peacefully (which wouldn't really have been possible in his time, or ours either).
