"مكتب الحاكم، سواء كان ملكاً أو مجلساً يتكون في النهاية من أجل ما منحه السلطة الحاكمة، أي توفير سلامة الشعب."
— Thomas Hobbes
Simplified Meaning:
A leader’s main job, whether they are a king, queen, or part of a group of rulers, is to keep their people safe. The power given to them by the people is meant to ensure that everyone can live without fear and have stability. For example, think about a town mayor. The people elected the mayor so that she can make rules to keep the town free from crime and help during emergencies, like storms or health crises. This trust in leadership is important because without it, there would be chaos and danger in daily life. Leaders should always prioritize the well-being and protection of their citizens above all else. In everyday life, this teaching reminds us to choose leaders who genuinely care about our safety and to hold them accountable to their promises of keeping us safe.
