I'm not surprised. A lot of people have trouble seeing the difference.
It's really quite simple, actually.
The former dies because he has something worth fighting for. He tried very
hard to survive, but it didn't work out that way, but he wanted to do what
he could to make sure his children can live in peace.
The latter dies because he has nothing worth living for. He tries hard to
kill as many others as he can on his way out, and prays with his last
breath that his children will also commit suicide because he's convinced
they too have nothing worth living for.
