If you live by that rule you are likely to have a peaceful
and enjoyable life. Otherwise, you are bound to be just one more miserable being among everyone else. Taking a life can, but not necessarily does, harm both victim and killer. The former because they would be taken what's most valuable for a living creature. As for the latter, they would feel for ever guilty for their act. Unless they are insensitive, and show no compassion towards others. That would change the whole thing. Whether you would be brave enough to do such a strong act or would chicken out just by hearing the idea of such thing, it does not change a thing, proceed? No! Some might easily contain strong feelings such as guilt - not to mention those who might not even have them. As for others, they are not even able to kill a single fly without a following remorse.
