However, eventually they all lead to Compassion for yourself and all other beings.
Why?
There is NOWHERE that God is not.
Therefore by having compassion for yourself (because God made you for a purpose) and compassion for all others (because God made them for a purpose too) is the only useful stance in life.
Since God made you for a purpose, killing yourself is a blasphemy a sin against God.
Since God made all other beings for a purpose, killing them is a sin against God too, especially human beings because you are one.
In the early 1980s I took Ahimsa Vows which means you vow not to kill any beings except in self defense including things like spiders, flies, mosquitos.
So, whenever possible I take a plastic cup and usher, Spiders, flies, and hornets and bees outside.
However, sometimes with things like mosquitos that might be carrying West Nile virus you have to protect yourself and your family from disease and the same with flies and bees and hornets if they don't cooperate and let you take them outside.
My karma has been amazing in all ways since I stopped randomly killing anything in my way.
It's kind of like Benjamin Franklin's adage: "Early to bed and early to rise keeps a man (or woman) healthy wealthy and wise."
The same is true of the Vow of "Harmlessness" which is what Ahimsa Vows are too.
By God's Grace
