that's all
Unless it's over the wrong thing or it goes a little too far.
Purpose is subjective, as is general truth in life. Those people would die thinking they were right, which is ultimately all that matters to them.
Kestrel is basically lauding blissful ignorance.

What about when the thing they want to die for is suicide, if they want to die so "the pain can stop"? It's still a form of idealism, a sense of direction, and "dying for something".
If "doing it towards yourself" doesn't count, what if they want to commit suicide as a result of having committed relationship first, or committed job?
He'd laud blissful ignorance, I'll laud my degree. It still demonstrates a desire to "harm yourself or others".

Suicide is not really something to die for, so no that example doesn't work + it's a needless technicality. Suicide is the act of dying by one's own hand, so the goal could be death but for a very wide range of reasons, which in turn brings it closer to what I said.

Sorry I don't really understand underlined sentence. I suspect you may be taking a very technical approach to what was originally a romanticised and idealistic OP. So we're not really vibing on that.
A purpose gives a man a sense of worth as the carrier of it and also a reason to live. Those who have such a thing are definitely lucky. I wish I had more than money and pleasure to live for.
