Hobbes View

I agree with Hobbes view that people cannot live peacefully in coexistence. Rule one, competition, is the main reason why people cannot coexist, they are always striving for power. If people are always fighting to be better than one other how can they live together. In competition, rarely there is a good outcome. Most of the time, the outcome of competition is jealousy. Jealousy is not just envy it is also has an emotional side of it. The emotional side of it leads to war. War is a non peaceful coexistence. So therefore people cannot live peacefully.
