Rights and freedoms are relative, not absolute. Any rights or freedoms are based on respecting the rights of others. The law is also a rule formulated based on the interests of the majority of people. This rule protects the rights and interests of the majority of people. Hobbes's famous saying is: "All the values ??of man, all spiritual reality (spiritual reality) can only exist through the state." Good citizen." He said: "Complete freedom means that everyone can get everything he wants." Hobbes said that freedom is the natural state of human beings. The freest people are Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. However, Hobbes also said that according to this definition of "freedom" it will be known that it is basically impossible. For there is no freedom of man that is not subject to some kind of restriction, whether the restriction is natural or man-made. He said that even the most free Adam and Eve were in fact restricted by God, who did not allow them to eat from the tree of knowledge. ?
Hobbes believed that the second basic concept of human nature is "selfishness" or "self-interest." He believes that selfishness is indeed human nature. The so-called human nature or the "natural rights" of human beings, that is, "human rights", are based on the concept of "selfishness". He said: Selfishness comes from the natural desire for survival of individual people. And this self-interested will is also everyone's nature and natural right to survive. As long as we recognize that it is necessary for everyone to use their abilities to protect and maintain our own lives, then natural rights will exist. ?
Hobbes believed that this right is not given by people or institutions, but comes from "natural talent". (This is the prototype of the concept of "natural rights.") What Hobbes means is: we are human beings and have the innate desire and possibility to protect ourselves, and we actually do so. "We have the right to do whatever is beneficial to life."?
Hobbes's third concept is natural law. So what is Dharma? Law is defined by Hobbes as limitation. Law, in fact, is a restriction on human rights. ?
According to Hobbes's theory: that is to say, people's natural rights (i.e. human rights) are defined by freedom and self-interest, while law is defined by the opposite meaning of "freedom" - that is, restrictions and constraints are defined. Man's natural rights dictate what we are entitled to do. But the law says what we can't do.

Based on the above concepts, Hobbes proposed a crucial concept for modern Western jurisprudence and politics, which is "natural order" and "natural law"
Freedom and rights are to do anything that is allowed by law and morality. In human society, everyone living there has things that he can freely decide to do, and there are also many things that he cannot do in violation of regulations. Laws He can do things that are allowed by morality, but he must not do things that are not allowed by law, and he cannot do things that are not allowed by morality.
We must maintain the common interests of everyone in the entire society. , To ensure everyone's normal life and work
To ensure that everyone's life, property and material property are not violated, there must be laws and moral standards
To restrict everyone's activities. Therefore, everyone's activities must be subject to certain restrictions and regulations.
Absolute freedom cannot exist. Absolute freedom means that everyone He can do whatever he wants,
He can hurt others and infringe on others at will. If every member of our society pursues absolute freedom, then all of us will be free anytime, anywhere. Be infringed.
Absolute freedom magnifies personal rights without limit, to the extent of infringing upon the interests and property of others.
One person’s absolute freedom means that the freedom of others is deprived. Others The survival rights and material interests of the people are harmed.
Therefore, in order to ensure the interests of the entire society and the rights and interests of everyone, human society has formulated many regulations from ancient times to the present. The law has formulated many moral norms to restrict everyone's activities. There is no absolute freedom in the world, and everyone has no right to pursue absolute freedom.
Therefore, each of us must do whatever we do. In your heart, you weigh whether doing this is allowed by the law and whether it does not violate the moral principles of society.
There is no absolute freedom in the world, so people must abide by the rules
