I don't think too many people commit suicide for "no purpose". Other people may not understand the purpose, agree with the purpose, or even know of the purpose, but the suicide knew the purpose.

Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are afraid to die as die because they are afraid to live.
