I hate this book because of a trope it uses

When I read your header, I thought you were going to complain about fictional books mentioned in books ...Honestly, I'm not sure how to deal with this trope other than make sure the next book you read doesn't have particular trope. It's been awhile since I came across a book with this particular trope in it and it's actually kind of annoying, because the reasons for sacrificing one's self that way are rarely all that justifiable.
(I though the same as Lori about your header.)But I would have to say that I don't remember ever reading a book like that or even coming across this trope, so I wouldn't say it's a very common one. The only books I've read that might have had something similar are set during wartime and behind enemy lines. A wounded soldier who couldn't be carried to safety could make his own decision to avoid being captured and tortured, and I believe that might have happened sometimes.
Frustrated that I am unable to get this paper ball out of my head and no one to rant to and help me process it led me back here.
My first time feeling hatred for a book because I believe that the part that pissed me off was immoral/ unethical (like a plot device -its there for a "'valid" reason but its wrong yet it sounds so plausible ) yet the author & editors let it through. The readers thought it was good riddance. So there was a "good" reason for it?" I'm wishing the book didn't exist.
Here's the trope http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php...
So I need advice on how to deal with (is there a name for whatever I'm going through?) and how and why was it allowed to be printed.
(besides accept it, can't change it, its fiction, move on (its been some years I tried )and write fan fiction. .)
I could write on in circles which needs to end. . .
TL:DR I How is it a selfless act to value the happiness of someone else over your own life?
Thank you so much for reading and please leave a reply.
