"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 do not have a shared authority or leader keeping them in check, they end up fighting each other all the time. This leads to everyone being against everyone else in a constant state of conflict.
