In a question such as this, personal faith plays the determining factor, I'd imagine.
Do you believe in a higher power?
If so, you would most certainly believe that there's a purpose for your existence. If said purpose does exist, then you must understand that there is a reason for your pain, a reason for your travesty. A reason why someone took the time to create your existence and everything that encompasses it.
With that in mind, it comes down to the individual's decision of whether or not they choose to ride out this viscious train ride of life. Despite the influences of our environment, I believe you are the only one capable of defeating your purpose.
And, to me, that is what suicide is. The justification for such action would represent a defeat of purpose, but more importantly, of faith. Something that becomes harder to hold onto as the obstacles placed before you weigh down at great lengths.
Maybe that's the challenge of the game.
