— John Locke

Simplified Meaning:
Everyone should treat each other with respect and fairness because we are all the same and have the right to live freely. For example, imagine you are playing a game with others. Just because you might be better at the game doesn't mean you should cheat or hurt the other players. Everyone has the right to enjoy the game and have a fair chance. In life, this means not hurting others, taking what belongs to them, or stopping them from doing what they want, as long as they are not hurting anyone else. By following this advice, we can build a community where everyone feels safe and valued. This way, everyone can live happily and freely without fear of being harmed by others.
