Then let me ask, how can someone who doesn't cherish their own life save more lives? Someone who values their own life would never sacrifice themselves for others. Only when both oneself and others survive is the most wise principle.
However, humans are emotional creatures, and perhaps one day, in a fleeting thought, one might sacrifice their life to save others; this is not impossible, but it's a minor righteousness, not a great one. True righteousness is preserving oneself while rescuing others; only from such a thought can everyone truly survive. Only through self-rescue can you rescue others. If you die, how can you save anyone?
