Fish, what I want, bear's paw, what I want, you can't have it both ways, and you can take the bear's paw instead of the fish. Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You can't have both. Those who give up their lives for righteousness are also. If people don't enjoy life, then what can be used to find a means of survival, which can't be used? I hate death, too. Death is more terrible than the dead, so I can't avoid it. You can survive by some means, but some people don't want to use it; There are some ways to escape the scourge, but some people refuse to use it. Make people worse than the dead, then why not avoid the patients! Born with it, born without it; If you are right, you can avoid pain and do something wrong. A bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, you can live if you get it, but you will starve if you don't get it. But with disdain to drink and eat, hungry pedestrians are unwilling to accept it; Kick others' food with their feet, and beggars will not accept it.
Killing for life comes from the Analects of Confucius.
Confucius "The Analects of Confucius Wei Linggong": "People with lofty ideals are benevolent, and they don't have to live to harm benevolence, but they have to kill themselves to be benevolent."
