COMPENSATION
-R.W.
Emerson
The
poem ‘‘Compensation’’ written by R. Emerson. Poem stands with
the idea of
‘Balance in Imbalance’.
Poet describes balance and imbalance in human beings. When poet seemed people
on the surface level he finds out that there is no equality but when he goes
into deep and find out that there is equality in human beings.
He
proved that with the philosophical way rather he applied ‘‘Buddhist
Philosophy’’ to prove his argument that every human being is unique and no
one is superior or inferior. This uniqueness makes all human beings equal
otherwise there is no equality among people. Because everyone have their own
unique personality rather talent through which they becomes different and that
is why they are unique.
On the other side when someone wants to be
equal to someone it’s suggest that they are not happy with their position and
also wants to be equal to that person’s position. Every person has their own
talent which others do not have. So, poet’s aim is to be composed rather
satisfied with what you have. And if people want to be happy, be giver or
Datta.
As T. S. Eliot talked
about in ‘‘The Waste Land’’ that what is more important-
What have we? Or
What have we given?
So, the important thing is what we have given.
One has to be sacrifice. Because it is only the medium through which one should
be happy and one should feel‘‘Shantih, Shantih, Shantih’’. So, the Indian
philosophy of ‘KARMA’ is very applicable here.
