Leibnitz

I think this reading was really interesting because it talked about religion and predestination and those are topics that I can relate to. In my religion that God predestinated all of our lives and only he knows what is in store for us. Leibnitz thinks that the world is the best possible world because God created it. He thinks that God created good and evil for a reason and just because the person is "evil" that person can't be that evil because God created that person. Leibnitz believes that the world and people are all good because again God created them. In the book by Voltaire which is called "Candide", Voltaire mocks Leibnitz philosophy that everything is good because if bad things happen to people everything can't be good all the time.
