"La diversité dans les facultés des hommes dont proviennent les droits de propriété n'est pas moins un obstacle insurmontable à une uniformité d'intérêts"
Simplified meaning
People have different skills and talents, and this means they end up owning different things, like money, property, or businesses. Because of these differences, it’s impossible for everyone to have the same goals or needs. For example, a farmer and a doctor want and need different things to succeed. The farmer might need good weather and fertile soil, while the doctor needs medical supplies and equipment. Their interests don’t always match because their lives and work are so different. This makes it very hard to find one common interest that fits everyone. Understanding and respecting these differences can help us build a fair society where everyone’s unique needs are considered.
