What is the point of Hamlets long speech?

In "To be, or not to be: that is the question," Hamlet contemplates the nature of existence. He weighs the pros and cons of dying but then ponders why someone would choose to endure life’s pain and injustice when they could so easily “with a bare bodkin” (dagger) end their lives.

Here he questions mortality, existential choice, and self-determination but does not reach a final resolution or provide ultimate meaning to one’s existence– he seems merely resigned by the end; “Thus conscience does make cowards of us all/And thus the native hue of resolution/Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,/And enterprise of great pitch and moment/With this regard their currents turn awry/And lose the name of action” (67-73). His final sentiment here seems not one of empowerment (“And lose the name of action”) but of resignation from inaction.
