Hobbes then asked the reasonable question of how a person who enjoys being bad would be allowed entry.
To put that idea into action, Hobbes suddenly shoved Calvin into mud.
Now you’re not.
The ends justify the means.
Here, Calvin declared that he would no longer waste his time dwelling on things that upset him.
Instead, he would only think about things that he liked to maximize his happiness.
Calvin then amended his previous statement by clarifying,“I thrive on making other people change.”
ThroughoutCalvin and Hobbes,Calvin’s imaginative mindgot the better of him on many occasions.
As such, he needed someone like Hobbes to steer him on the right path at times.
Hobbes, therefore, had to ensure that he retained his focus when their lives were potentially at risk.
Here, for instance, Calvin talked about how those with knowledge think too much to take action.
Therefore, he preferred to know less as a “man of action”.
