Non-Solution.
The reasonings given to advise against suicide, in works like Camus' Myth of Sisyphus, as well as the reasonings of the protagonists in John Barth's first two novels, are always of a vague nature, always seem contorted and lacking. Like the entire question exists in a place that language is incapable of reaching. Thus you get answers like, well, don't, because you shouldn't. Or, it's meaningless either way, so why bother. But this never addresses the issue of whether it is ultimately worth it to continue living, they can never tell you directly whether the final account balance tends toward worth or misery.
