<h3><u>Interpretation of the Rousseau's quote with an example:
</u></h3>
By the statement, Rousseau meant that when the almighty makes something to hand it over to his subjects it is the best, but as soon as it is made available to the subjects, they misuse it and utilize it for purposes other than its real cause.
<u>Example:
</u>
God made the religion and preached it through his messengers so that the people know about the righteous path to follow to salvation, but the people used religion to gain power and dominate other people.
