"使人们倾向于和平的激情是对死亡的恐惧对适宜生活必需品的渴望以及通过努力获得它们的希望"
— Thomas Hobbes

Simplified Meaning:
People want to live peacefully because they are afraid of dying and want things that make life comfortable. For example, imagine someone working hard to buy a nice home, good food, and have savings for the future. They do this because having these things makes them feel safe and happy. The idea is that by working towards these comforts, people can avoid dangerous situations or conflict. Essentially, our desire to live well and be secure motivates us to act peacefully and responsibly in our lives.
