It is called the contradictory curse after all. If you want to get control over the curse and stop the people around you from dying, you have to forget the value of life. But by doing so you lose the sight of why you wanted to control the curse in the first place, and it starts over again.

Still this form of punishment kinda misses the point. It encourages to getting rid of the respect for the value of life and death, which was the reason Zeref was cursed in the first place. So either there is something more of this curse we don't know... or it is some ill-considered BS
