I, in fact, agree with both Rebecca and Meaghan's points. Although, there are not just two important reasons that Hobbes uses in supporting his idea of why mankind is unable to live sociably. Along with the idea of competition and the idea of people communicating, I have found that Hobbes' second statement where he introduces the idea of comparison. Although Hobbes point about comparison is short and sweet, I believe it is highly important. People constantly compare themselves with others. This ties back to what people have touched upon with competition, everyone compares themselves and on some occasions to be better than others.
