Hobbe's View of Human Nature

I believe that Hobbe's view of human nature is both right and wrong. Hobbe's does not believe that people can coexist peacefully and gives six good reasons to why not. I lean towards the agreement that people are indeed dangerous creatures. Without laws or supremacy, this world would be complete chaos. Each individual has their own personality and view towards things. Humans cannot keep themselves from competing against others or expressing emotions because it is natural to us. Bees and ants, who are sociable creatures, only stick to one plan rather than seeking opportunities to do whatever they please like we do. Hobbe's believes that by competition, comparison, reason, speech, free will/no fear, and covenant people cannot coexist. I do not like the way that Hobbe's veiws these six factors in such negative aspects. I really liked the way that Peter had called them "gifts" during class the other day. It is true that these six factors can lead to disaster and war but they also create the most powerful group of species. People have contributed towards the progression of the world. Although we are so grand, I agree with the need of a Leviathan. I do not view a Leviathan as a dictator, but as a sovereign that can be a bit harsh. Terror is needed to control people's actions with a consequence.
