I tried to open a file using less:
less /home/me/Desktop/file1
This is returning unexpected result like this:
/usr/bin/less: 1: [: missing ]
At least one file or directory argument required.
Use --help to show usage.

I'm a linux beginner, i started to learn the basic and mess around with the system files for few days. Perhaps i broke something, and when i wanted to see a file using less, it gives me a bunch of man pages, and it didn't stop.
How can i figure out where or what is wrong and fix it?
Opening a command manual page using man also gives me same result:
man ls
This is returning same result as using less but followed by some informative errors and also it took like so long to finish, and i think it never stop giving a bunch of errors until i pressed crtl+c :
