One of the most recognizable dilemmas ever articulated is by a William Shakespeare character named Hamlet when he asked, “To be or not to be, that is the question.” If we add the letters “O” and “Y” around the “be”, the great dilemma for the wisemen from the Christmas story is revealed. “To obey or not to obey,” that was their question. And it was more than a question. It was a genuine dilemma they faced shortly after they saw the Christ child and his family at the home in which they were staying while in Bethlehem.
