Okay, so, the French philosopher Voltaire wrote a short novella called Candide. I’ve never read it, but I understand the novel to run something like this:

A man believes that the world is the best it could possibly be, and looks to the positive side of life, although life really gave him the short end of the stick. So, even as he begins to lose limbs, he keeps his belief. It’s a comedy, and is very philosophical.

I believe that in a way, also. In my opinion, the Earth is going to run its course, whether we affect it or not. This course is why we are here; so that we can make our imprints on this beautiful place.

A lot of people wish that something would happen or want certain things to be different. I [philosophically] am against this idea.
While a lot of people would be much happier if we could just make wishes and have needs satisfied by a single whim, it would not be the same world we live in. If we even wished a single ant gone, we would be living in a different world; a world without that ant.

So, I believe that the Earth was made for us to change it, not for it to be wished better. I believe that the Earth is the best it could be, because if it were a different world or it magically changed, it would not be our world.

The thing that makes it the best place it could possibly be, the thing that really finishes this point, is that we are able to make it better.

“Judge a man not by his answers, but by his questions.”

“God is a comedian performing to people who are too afraid to laugh.”
