Destroying another's life might be worse than murdering him. Consider how we take the elderly, and as they pass away, we say that since it removed them from their pain, it is all for the better.
If life can be so painful you are better off without it, then what of those who are made so miserable, yet condemned to remain alive? Death is a comfort to those in pain, yet they have not the escape of death.
Unless they commit suicide, and many of them do.
At any rate, if you ruin another's life -- if you make it so miserable for them that life isn't worth it -- perhaps you commit an offense as great as murder, in this sense. So, think twice. Certainly do not inflict on them the pain if they don't have it coming. Character assassination? Robbing them of their belongings?
And, even if they do "deserve it," think twice. The better chance is that even with their faults, they still deserve your love.
