Unending Warfare

As we all know, the book “Candide” is a satire which the author used ordinary words to express the evil side of French society during that time period. In the story, a man—ought to be the most honest and simplicity person—had said,” I have killed my old master, my friend, my brother-in-law; I am the best man in the world, and here are three men I’ve killed already, and two of the three were priests.” His words demonstrated that Candide came down with the bad atmosphere of the society. In chapter 22, he asked a scholar, “you doubtless think everything is for the best in the physical as well as the moral universe, and that nothing could be otherwise than as it is?” The scholar replied, “I believe nothing of the sort. I find that everthinkg goes wrong in our world; that nobody knows….what he’s doing or what he ough to be doing, and that outside of mealtimes, which are cheerful and congenial enough, all the rest of the day is spent in useless quarrels,….it’s on unending warfare.”

In the reality, from ancient time untill now, his words reflected the truth of our real world. During our mealtimes, people disguised themselves as cheerful and enjoyable. Stealthily, they play a deep game. This vicious cycle of hatred goes around untill today and never end. Not many of us have sufficient experiences protect ourselves.To sum up, we as student, since our information came from searching on internet, hearing from others, and reading news, we do not know whether a piece of information is real or not.
