Fairness and Justice

Fairness & Justice

First we need to know that “Fairness” & “justice” are two values that their idea is to do things right. On the first poem, “A Psalm of Life”, these values aren’t exactly mentioned but there are some messages, on the first strophe the autor is saying things such as “life is an empty dream” and “things are not what they seem”. These strophe makes the reader think like life is not what we thought it was and that it is wrong but then this poems start to suggest that in spite of life is not what it seems and that life is unfair we should be “heroes in the strife” and keep achieving and pursuing  to reach our destiny. On the second poem, “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls”, justice and fairness are both implied to this poem but justice is implied as a synonym of fairness but on the exact meaning of justice is not because justice is about treating everybody based on their merits or on how good or bad they have been and the message of this poem is about everybody is treat equally in the cycle of life. The cycle of life is not looking for bad people or good people is just following the path of every living thing. I said this message is fair because it is equal for everyone without discriminate anyone.

I think this two values “justice” and “fairness” are very important values and we already know that they are not showed exactly is reflected like in a wrong or abrstact way for example in “A Psalm of Life” these values are not in there but we can infer that these values are in there and in “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls”, the author shows these values like a metaphor like when he says “the tide rises, the tide falls” we can infer there he is talking about something that never ends like a cycle, the tide rises we can say he is talking about life, someone being born and growing up, and a tide falls means when someone is getting old and start to get shorter until the tide finally falls that we can say it is when someone dies. These two values are not the main points on this poems but they are slightly implicated in the message that the author wants us to infer so this is why I think that these values are implied on these poems.
