Hobbes' view

I agree with Cornelius on that human instinct always ends in destructive behaviors because maybe what is best for one person isn't best for the community. I believe giving up free will for the good of society sounds nice, but could anyone here see themselves doing this? If we were to unite under one will and fear for the peace and security of mankind would it be possible for us humans to give up the thrill that destructive behaviors ignites inside of us? Hobbes' was right. As long as we humans are able to reason against these ideas and use our gift of speech to enact our own wills we will never live peacefully because we think ourselves wiser and able to govern the public better.
