So I agree with what a lot of you have been saying, I agree that humans are indeed dangerous because of the way we have learned to live. I believe that all 6 characteristics; competition, comparison, reason, speech, free will/no fear, and covenant have been all past down over time through the standard of living and human nature. I think Human nature over time has evolved into this fight for power and fight for control. Hobbes says this best comparing us to animals. Animals lack the communication we have the tools we have and the structure we have at times, but they still survive and reach the common good better than us.
This is because even though we have many things animals don’t we lose it all in the arrogance and competition that surrounds the world. Hobbes says we are greedy envious creatures and that even though we live together and all work for the same thing we are almost blinded by the little things. The anger we put against things that we disagree on and the way we want control and power is tearing us apart. The best example of this is wars started over competition for land or a disagreement in reason. It is almost as if we add extra effort to better ourselves but in the end cause so much damage, while if we lived in harmony and simply the way we lived would be easier.
