"Truth"

I believed Chaucer called this poem “truth” because he thought he had the truth in his hands, in other words, he thought that he had the recipe to be a good human being. In the poem Chaucer wrote “For greed entails hate and social climbing uncertainty” in my opinion, he wrote this because he wanted to show that people is worried about trivial things. Money is the only concern they have and they are capable of doing horrible things in order to have it. Also religion has an important part in this poem, I believe that he expected people to change their way of living and to ask for forgiveness in order to take the “good” road.

I think this poem not only reflects how people lived in the past, it also reflect how people live in the present. We are always worried about what our neighbour is doing and what new unnecessary thing is on the market for buying it. We live in a materialistic society and we need to change that.
