Hobbes' Laws of Nature

I really understand Hobbes' first law of nature now, If you cannot obtain peace peacefully, then obtain it any way you can. This is a very contradicting statement that is indirectly stating that if you don't have peace, fight to get it. Im not quite sure i agree with this because if your searching for peace you shouldn't be unpeacful to get it. Hobbes' second law i really like however, the basics of it are that people need to be equal. If i do something to you, you can do something equal to what i did back. I like this because in order to obtain peace in a government i think there needs to be some sort of equality between the government and the citizens. Hobbes' third law i also like a lot. The total of it is to always keep your promises. I think this also plays into keeping peace because when promises are broken, people argue and in a country to country sense, war could break out. I think when we make a promise or even statement, we need to stick by our words more often.
