Can you help me solve this aparent paradox?

Reality is an illusion, life is a creation of consciousness, a lie that is perception. Therefor, there is no difference between me and you, all things in the universe are one, everything is the same. However, the only moral is to liberate the sentient beings of the universe, and to protect life and the innocent. Why, then, does it matter. How can one liberate the minds of those who are already free, and how are they free if they are obviously in delusion. Why protect life when life is transcendent and unimportant. We live and die. Why work to cease suffering of the innocent when they will soon die anyway, unnoticed and unimportant. Why do I care about the week being subdued by the strong (which I do), if their existence of both of these are merely illusions?
