    <body><![CDATA[Most philosophers I think tend to pen a bleak outlook on life in general.  With Voltaire his outlook seems to be more the balance between good and evil and your perception of the world.  An optimist sees the good and a pessimist sees the bad but yet both qualities are out there in world for you to e...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28374790">more...</a>]]></body>
