To Put It Another Way

Bragging is something we do constantly, it can be annoying but it's natural. We seek feedback and sharing our accomplishments with others can lead to feedback (positive or negative doesn't matter). There are different types of bragging, - teenagers use them all, which can become very tedious - but there are two main ones: Bragging about interesting things that can lead to a conversation and bragging about empty material situations. Consequently, we can affirm that Candide and Cacambo show the desire to act upon the second form of bragging since, " they were both anxious, also, to show their friends how rich they had grown and to boast about what they had seen in their travels." p. 83
I wonder what friends Candide refered to, because I don't recall him having friends, besides Cunegonde.
In spite of this, one always finds someone to brag with. Bragging can come from insecurity, you need to prove your worth. Isn't that sad? All the same, I love bragging I do it with discretion or sometimes I do it just to be annoying. Bragging gives my life a twist sometimes. I can identify with Cacambo and Candide, if I found a land full of wealth and prosperity I would rejoice in telling my friends about it.
Since I got there first right? Yeah
