I agree with Tanner saying that people didn't care who got the credit for doing something good. It basically means that people should overcome such traits as greed, selfishness and envy. People should really understand if you are the best at doing something or if you achieved something big for the good of the community and if you are in the center of attention for doing that, it doesn't really mean a big thing. Most of the people will naturally get envious of that persons actions, and as Hobbes said, such traits of character are not good, it causes conflicts. People should understand and tolerate that they wont be the best at everything, different people will contribute to the community in one or another way. But on the other hand, I believe that those traits, if under the control of a Leviathan, might actually contribute to the commonwealth. It will cause competition which will bring good to the people, as my classmates said in earlier posts.
