I agree with Hobbes’s view and many other posts. It is not just one of the six reasons why we cannot live together peacefully, it is many of the reasons and all six of them at times. Although it is many of the six reasons, one in particular stands out. All of the reasons: competition, comparison, reason, speech, free will/no fear and covenant boil down to free will. Animals that live unlike us, in peaceful harmony, don’t have free will. People being dangerous is the consequence of humans having free will and being able to do what they want. Hobbes says that with his government humans would give up their free will, which would never happen. That is why people can never live together peacefully.
