The three talk about the natural desire of human beings for power and to a life that is good, that they will never be satisfied with what they have. If they have power they want to acquire more They believe also in equality, that every one is created equal, That man's search for power may prompt him to "kill" and be killed, that are selfish, concerned only with their own self-preservation and thereby will do anything to maintain this, that is why wars are created because of competition, distrust, and the desire for glory.
