A Nature Corrupted By Men

The Anabaptist claims that men have somehow corrupted nature because God never gave them weapons, which means that men created them in order to destroy themselves. Pangloss thinks totally the opposite thing and argues that "this is the best of worlds." With this two different opinions we can take into consideration that the Anabaptist is the realistic man and that Pangloss is the nonsensical and naive man who thinks human kind is completely innocent.

It is important to mention that the Anabaptist is a character who contrasts the usual idea of society, which explains that human beings should govern the world no matter the consequences it might cause to nature. He is a generous human being, realistic about human kind, which is a quality no one else has up to now in the story. With this character, various theories and ideas of Voltaire will show up through the story.

I personally relate myself with  the Anabaptist because I believe human kind has corrupted not only nature, but society in every sense. We have created a world of our own where nothing is real, everything is an allusion; metaphors are great example of this theory implied my Nietzsche, a german philosopher. For me a rock symbolizes a plain life where nothing is relevant to one's understanding; for another person a rock is simply a rock. Jean Paul Sartre says "Humans are condemned to be free," then what kind of freedom is the one where we destroy ourselves, nature, and society?


For me, society is not more than a fake regimen that manipulates vulnerable human beings that have to follow it since they are born in this planet. We have to adapt to a certain culture, religion, community etc. Society has told us that the wealthy ones are the ones who should govern the world because they are the ones who have fortune, that it's NOT natural that two individuals from the same sex are together and that they just can't form a family because it sets a bad example to the community. Then is it a good example to isolate people just because they are different? I mean, what does different even mean?

Listen carefully, if you are one of those people who follows society's belief that these people just shouldn't exist nor set an example on our community, you better change your act together because there's absolutely no way humankind will evolve with this idea. What I believe is that everything born on this planet is natural and if it's not natural it wouldn't even exist...

even the bible accepts it...
