"It is proved that things cannot be other than they are, fo9r since everything was made for a purpose, it follows that everything is made for a purpose it follows that everything is made for the best purpose."- Voltaire Candide or optimism



Immediately after reading chapter one, in Voltaire Candide, I immediately went back to this line, and thought it might be a good idea for myself to analyze it and see how it concides with real life.



Is it true? Does everything have a true destiny? Is everything made for a purpose? The book gives us some examples: "our noses were made to carry spectacles, so we have spectacles. Legs were clearly intended for breeches, and we wear them . Stones were meant for carving and for building houses, and that is why my lord has the most beautiful house/ and since pigs were made to be eaten, we eat pork all the year round."



Maybe this is also true for people. George Washington had the destiny to become the first president of the United States. Martin Luther King had the destiny to change the history of the views of races in America, and the destiny to die soon after. I believe in totla we are all part of one destiny : the worlds future.
