Hamlet's dilemma is one that many people have dealt with and still do to this day. The dilemma of life or death, and which is worse. Life may be, like in Hamlet's case, full of "slings and arrows" but death may be much worse, nobody really knows. The decision between the two really comes down to being afraid of the unkown or taking your own life, because that's death is.
I feel that although Hamlet is in a place of anguish, he should not end his life in the hopes that something better lies in the afterlife. No one knows what there is after death, or if there is anything at all. So why take the risk of ending it all and leaving behind friends, family, and life itself? Hamlet is somewhat fearful of what there is after death, and that is what keeps him from making a rash decision. "But that the dread of something after death, the undiscovered country..."
Sure Hamlet doesn't have the greatest of lives but compared to many others, he can't really complain. And Hamlet has a duty to avenge his father so he can't just end his life due to some turmoil. Hamlet should "take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them." Many are just as afraid to face their life troubles as they are to face death. If Hamlet is afraid of one more than the other it should be the fear of death because he can fix the woes in his life.
I feel life is the answer for Hamlet, but with that said no one can make that decision except Hamlet himself. He is dealing with his own demons and what others say probably won't affect his final decision. "To be, or not to be- that is the question:", and I don't have a solid answer. What Hamlet's ultimate decision is will be one that only he understands.
