It's not "giving up", it's " resigning/forfeiting"

[LaVieEnRose]

People always say to play the hand you're dealt. Well, a smart player knows when to continue to play and when to fold.

The Gambler by Kenny Rogers; I never thought about that song from the perspective of ctb. I like it. And I like your user name…La Vie En Rose is a beautiful song.

I never think of suicide 'as giving up', instead I see it as making a personal decision that we have every right to make. It's taking control over a life that we never asked for. Staying alive is just delaying the inevitable, we will all die eventually someday so I see it as being preferable exiting at a time of my own choosing rather than it being out of my control.
