leviathan

I actually found reading Leviathan very interesting because a lot of what Hobbes talked about, I could relate it to society today. For example "if any two men want a single thing which they can't both enjoy, they become enemies." I agree with what Hobbes said because men can be so aggressive with what they want, they'll do anything to try and get it. In chapter 14, it started to get a little confusing to me about the laws of nature, but one thing that did stick out to be was, "Men are freed from their covenants in two ways; by performing, and by being forgiven." This stuck out to be because I find it to be so true. Out of all the readings we have had so far, I think this has definitely been my favorite and one that was actually easier to understand.
