Leviathan

I found Hobbes' Leviathan to be awesome! I think reading this kind of philosophy is a lot easier and simpler to understand the big picture with what Hobbes writes. My favorite part of the reading is when Hobbes is describing how we as humans distrust our human race. We lock the doors of our homes and our closets and different private areas though for Hobbes' he says "lock your chests". When there are armed officers and laws to revenge and unlawful act that happens toward you. I think that a lot of Hobbes' ideas can still be used for everyday situations and its pretty clear where some our found fathers got there ideas to write some of their famous historical documents.
