Hobbes View

Shayan said that leaders cannot please everybody. People have the ability to reason, so some people will always find something wrong about a potential leader. If everybody's reasoning was the same, then we could agree on a leader, and other things for that matter. However, everyone reasons differently, so everyone has different ideas as to who, and what is the best for a community. It is impossible for one single idea or person to please everybody's needs. This, plus the fact that people will be always in competition for that powerful rule means that Hobbes view is correct.
