What I think Fuuma's saying is this:
that if it's so important not to kill other living beings unnecessarily (as most of the Seals seem to believe), then why do humans do it so much? Ergo, if humans kill unnecessarily regardless of what they claim to believe, then why should they be spared from death themselves?
Of course, that's more Satsuki-ish. Fuuma would probably extend that to saying that most humans don't value life anymore and because of that are willing to sacrifice their lives in the defense of something they wish to protect. Because of this, they have no significant desire to live themselves, and thus (being as Fuuma seems . . . almost obligated to grant the wishes of others) their wishes facilitate his destruction of Tokyo.
I think that Fuuma's obligation to a person's wish (although seemingly subtle) is very important to the plot. After all . . . why would he abuse Kamui as such, unless Kamui believed on some level that he DESERVED to be abused (perhaps in regards to being unable to save Kotori, his mother, Kyougo, Tokiko, and so on).
It seems that Yuzuriha's way is the right way in dealing with Fuuma . . . you must be willing to stand between what you love and that which threatens it, but you must also be mindful that there are others who care for you yourself, and that to sacrifice yourself would cause them pain as well. To truly protect others, you must not only keep them safe, but also yourself inasmuch as you can.
