"当人们生活在没有共同权力使他们都怀有敬畏之心的时期，他们所处的状态被称为战争，这样的战争是每个人对每个人的战争。"
— Thomas Hobbes
Simplified Meaning:
When people don't have a strong authority or rules to keep them in check, they will end up fighting and competing against each other. Imagine a classroom without a teacher. Without someone to enforce the rules, kids might start to argue, push, or fight to get what they want. This situation can turn chaotic and unsafe very quickly. Similarly, in a society without laws or a government, people might feel they need to protect themselves and their possessions all the time, leading to constant conflicts and violence. To avoid this, societies create governments and laws to ensure everyone follows the same rules, making life safer and more orderly for everyone. By doing this, people can focus on living their lives instead of constantly worrying about defending themselves from others.
