In this condition, people are able to pursue their own interests (Locke 2005, 3). Due to the restrictions imposed by the Law of Nature, which focuses on the preservation of humanity, as well as its independence and equality, it is a peaceful place. No one is ranked above another because every person is God's creation. Since no one has the right to take away what God has produced and therefore owns, killing another human being is unacceptable (Locke 2005, 4). Locke did not think that humans were good or bad because he saw the human mind as a blank slate, meaning it is blank at birth and completely shaped by its environment. His belief was that the State of Nature has indeed existed and will continue to exist as long as there are kings and queens governing independent communities (Locke 2005, 6). The right of nature is a right of all people; it is the right to life, the right to liberty and the right to property, respecting the same rights as everyone else. Infusing the resources provided by nature with your own labor creates private property, but due to the Law of Nature, you cannot take more from nature than you can use, to ensure that others have enough. However, the State of Nature does not preserve people's property.
