Humans are naturally evil, and must have some form of government to keep peace amongst each other. Hobbes explained how mankind is not social. Without a ruler, there will be no peace. The government’s actions are just. He stated that humans are all equal, and that “the difference between man and man is not so considerable”, but the hopes we have to achieve goals and be successful, makes us evil. Without a “common power” or government to keep peace and be a reminder to be reasonable and moral, there will be war and violence. Us, as humans, would not be able to function peacefully together. I agree with Hobbes because naturally, humans are evil. History has proved this to be accurate countless times. We are greedy, selfish, and cruel.

This results in a perpetual fear of being unprepared for an attack by the vainglorious seeking more power. Consequently, the “modest” determine that striking first is the best way to avoid being attacked.

Force, and fraud, are in war the cardinal virtues.” In a state of nature there is no common power, government, or established laws. Without these, we would not know right from wrong. There would be no justice for the victims. This would ca
