Calm the F**#@ck Down! (Sorry)

All of Candide's friends have died violent deaths, his loved one has been raped, and he has survived an earthquake and a hurricane and still he manges to kill some of the only people that could get him out of his mess. SERIOUSLY CANDIDE!? After killing a grand inquisitor and a land-owning Jew (no big deal), he plunges his sword into his brother-in-law and soon-to-be savior. Oh and not to blow up the situation but he is a fugitive of the Spanish Army that runs half of the continnent! He can finnaly rely on something he can count on to protect him from his troubles but nooo because he get sword whiped he has to kill  familiar and the lord of the whole country. Way to go Candide.


In response to my previous blog's point know Candide brings of the part of you taking charge of the situation the world has thrown at you. Voltaire's recuring criticism to life's randomness and injustice is now complemented by how you play your part and how stupid you can be about it if you swim upstreem against destinies current. As the whole book has proven, Candide has never been in the best of shapes, and to be fair he hasnt been responsible for some of his misfortunes but he certainly hasn't aid his situation and he clearly doesnt understand some of the meassages that have been trown at him by his sourrandings. Even though Voltaire is clear that it almost does not matter what you do the world can hit you with massive misfortunes or great goods, however if you try yoour best to stay out of the world's way, this might not happen to you. If you keep calm and focus on building your life without much risk and without stepping on anybodie's toes the world might leave you be. On the other hand Candide is just a stupid, naive, hasty, impulsive, and bimbo kid that does not think before he acts. This makes him the best spy goat for all Voltire's points and targets.
