that is the question- 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 th the respect that makes calamity of so long life; for who would bear the whips and wscorns of time, Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, the pangs of despised love, the law's delay, the insolence of office, and the spurns othat patient merity of the unworthy takes, when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin? Who would these fardels beart, to grunt and sweat under a weary life, but that the dread of something after death - the undiscovered country, from whose bourn no traveller returns - puzzles the will, and makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; and thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied over with the pale cast of thought, and enterprises of great pitch and moment, with this regard, their currents turn awry and lose the name of action.

Because suicide is not a choice. Neither is not doing what you can to benefit and better life for those you love. Living and life is the only way to validate time spent on earth.

I can't believe the answers given were all based on Hamlet.
This question has something to do with decision-making. In Hamlet's case, he was arguing with himself. Will he kill or not? For us, it means, will we do something or not or anything that has to do with weighing the consequences of one's actions. Sometimes, it's so hard to decide.
