After searching endlessly for the perfect society, Candide and Cacambo come across Eldorado, which is the perfect utopia. The people of Eldorado have no concept of money or riches, for precious stones as only "common pebbles" in the community. Also, everyone agrees on every subject, and thus there is no trouble or crime. Candide believes that this is the only place in the world where "everything is right." Candide falls in love with this safe and worry free community yet he has a yearning to go back to Europe. After finding what he has been searching for, he foolishly decides to abandon it only for what he left behind. He naively passing up living worry free in a perfect society for power and riches.
             Candide's motives are to gather the utopia's "common pebbles" and bring them back to Europe as a hero. He submits to the selfish greed that exists in his original world only to go back to buy Don Fernando's kingdom and Cunegonde. Candide indubitably turns himself into a target on the outset of leaving the perfect kingdom. Candide is not aware that the all the money he has collected only attracts greedy swindlers that will do anything for a portion if not all of his fortune. Candide is swindled once he leaves the utopia, since he must buy his passage back. Naively, he will pay and believe anything to return. This causes him to lose most of his money. His purchase of a companion to travel within him back to Europe is one example of how one person's riches can do nothing in attempts to alleviate poverty and other miseries of society. Thus, while Candide may have believed he would be revered for coming back with riches in order to help with the miseries of society, he actua!
             lly made himself a target of others' greed.
