Geoffry Chaucer was an English poet who is still consider as the father of poetry in England. He wrote wonderful poems and stories that are still an important part of everyone's library. In one of his poem called "Truth", he attempted to stablish a connection with God and heaven, because in the way we live our existence is just a mundane part of life, because we as human beigns do not follow the instructions of God, such as telling always the true and beign real and doing good actions in the world. What he said in the poem is that we can change our future fate in heaven, the only thing that we need to do is just follow the instructions to be a good person on the earth in order to reach heaven. I think that in the poem Chaucer’s message is implicit, because affirms that staying away from petty and earthly troubles and instead trusting one’s self and one’s God we are going to be able to reach heaven and in that way of leaving we will be prepare to live our lifes without any fear. From this point of view it is obvious that Chaucer's poem has a moral advice inside it, or at least it has a Stoic and Christians traditions point of view.
