Here come a little story of 孔子 Confucius: he's a wise man, so every word or instruction he said to his students will be wisdom. He always educated his students that "不杀生" bu4 sha1 sheng1, literally and meaning "never kill any creatures when they are alive". However how can you obtain meat to eat when you feel so tempted? Will you wait until those animals get too old to naturally die or get ill, then eat sick or died already meat? When butcher killed animals for food in kitchen, Confucius was so scared, he used his one arm with a very wide sleeve (ancient style) to cover his eyes, and protected by yelling: "不杀生, 不杀生!" On the other hand, Confucius ate meat maybe more than many others, and he particularly so enjoyed meat. Don't you think Confucius is a hypocrite?
