Hobbes View:

I want to say I disagree and that I have hope that people could coexist freely without trouble, but it is proven that men simply cannot. In my opinion, Shayan was correct in saying free will is important, but covenants tie along with that very well. Men have the will to do whatever they please under any circumstance as long as they are not afraid. This could be very dangerous because to some men, they could openly decide to do something extreme or harm people and it would take away the progression of the commonwealth. Without a covenant, mankind would diminish rapidly. There must be some agreement with people to coexist because there would be no way to live if everyone freely did what they wanted. Nothing could be organized and the world would be mass chaos. Overall I agree with Hobbes Theory that men cannot coexist freely, for people are dangerous when they are not controlled.
