According to Thomas Hobbes, men become enemies due to a natural state of competition, diffidence, and desire for reputation. This competition arises from the constant pursuit of power and self-interest, leading individuals to see others as potential threats to their own well-being. In the absence of a common power to keep them in check, individuals continue to view each other with suspicion and hostility, fueling enmity and conflict.
