Simplified Meaning:
Everyone has a natural right to protect themselves if someone tries to harm them. Just like if a person is being attacked by a robber, they have the right to defend themselves to avoid getting hurt or killed. This idea is like a basic rule of survival – you shouldn't have to give up your ability to stay safe. In history, people have always had the instinct to protect their lives when threatened. If someone walks home at night and feels threatened by another person, they should feel it's okay to take steps to defend themselves. This keeps them safe and reassures them that protecting themselves is not just allowed but necessary.
