The purpose of life is not wealth and health.
I know many who have neither.
So far you haven´t even established that there is a purpose of life. Many people aren´t convinced there is such a thing.The purpose of life is not wealth and health.

Nope - you can't answer for the atheist because you don't know what he/she answers to, you just know it isn't a god or gods.I can't answer for the atheist--they do not think they answer to anyone.

I don´t think you are in the position to tell others what their purpose in life is or isn´t.

Yes, but being without those can make one miserable. And there is no reason live in misery.
If you're in intense pain, and there's no medical relief, then there's nothing illogical at all about suicide. Life isn't about length, it's about quality.
I don´t even know how your response addresses my statement.Logically, people in poor health and high poverty would have
higher rates of suicide. Have you established this, or are
you not using logic at all in this argument?
Where? When? By whom?it's been said that "logically" poor people have higher suicide rates.

I disagree. I think if a person is a certain age, is facing illness and poverty, suicide is very rational.
No; you said, "they do not think they answer to anyone" (my italics). In fact, you only know they don't answer to deities.That is what I said--isn't it?
There are huge, huge benefits to suffering you only see
later.
Possibly, if you survive. Or, on the Christian model, if you are in heaven.
(Any way I reckon it, I won't be.)
Having been matched to two new negative makers for my life expectancy recently, and being in pain, I'm not sure what these "huge, huge benefits" are supposed to be.

You never know until after. It helps if you look for the benefits, and you fail when you don't.
Live and learn?
Your decision.
People who irrationally compare their circumstances with others
are the highest risk group. So you are the big winner!
