As you are all aware Hamlet has some issues that he should address. In his soliloquy he contemplates suicide verses exacting revenge and killing his uncle for the murder of his father. Tragic stuff. His religious beliefs and views however, prevent him from acting upon either impulse at this moment. As he mulls these ideas around in his head he comes to the conclusion that if he has an impulse to do it then it is just as bad as acting upon it. So he is caught between a rock and a hard place. This kind of dilemma would weight heavy on a sane persons mind, so it's no surprise that Hamlet is struggling with his psyche.
If Hamlet kills himself, then absolutely nothing will be accomplished. Although, nothing being accomplished would probably result in a more desirable outcome for the other characters. They all would go on to live happy Hamletless lives. With no reason to plot, or conspire against anyone. Basically life would remain the same if not better.
