There is some subtleties there that really matter... If you read carefully my message, you'll understand that even though death may not matter to the one dying, it still matters to other people. Contrary to the dead person, the living ones have to deal with the consequences of that death.
And indirectly, it does in fact matter to the one dying, because he cares for the feeling of the ones who will remain alive. But sooner or later, one will die, there is no escaping it. There is no ideal way of dying, right? So, I wouldn't care getting killed by this boy in itself, but some boys who love me may feel distressed about it. That's a good reason to avoid death if I can. Just not to the price of killing another boy. Better to die, then. That's my perspective at least, of course you're free to have a different one.

And similarly I deeply care about the boys dying in Gaza, even though death is indifferent to all the ones who are already dead. Life still has value even if death is unavoidable and its date doesn't matter in itself. Why? Because we value things that can only happen with living beings, like loving boys. There is no absolute reason why life would be preferable to death. But we are living beings and therefore have some innate impulse towards life. To a BL, life means loving boys, above many if not all things. That's all. Things aren't more complicated than that. But we humans like to make things more difficult than they need to be, and suffer greatly because of it.

Lots of happy boys to you,

FF
