"芸術も文字も社会もなくそして最も悪いことは絶え間ない恐怖と暴力的な死の危険があり人間の生活は孤独で貧しく険しく粗野で短い"
— Thomas Hobbes

Simplified Meaning:
When people don't have art, books, or community, they live in fear and danger all the time. This kind of life is very lonely, hard, and miserable. Imagine living in a place with no music, no communication with others, and constant threats around you; it wouldn't be a happy life. For example, in history, people who lived in times of war or chaos, where there were no stable communities, often faced these harsh conditions. To avoid such a life, it's important to build a society with culture, education, and social connections. By doing so, individuals can lead safer, more fulfilling lives.
