BioYes, I'm that Candide. The title character from Volatire's fabulous satire.
Except I've never believed the lies that "Everything happens for the best", "Something good comes out of everything", or, as said in the book, "This is the best of all possible worlds". But, I do remain optimistic even as bad things get worse.
Like my creator, Voltaire, I love satire, get angry about hypocrisy, and am writing using a psuedonym. (I may not write satire as well as Voltaire, but I am naturally sarcastic.)
