So, it's better u be a lowly person because, if we're little guys we can sleep soundly at night, our little cottage will be safe, though even then.

Samuel Johnson's "Vanity of human wishes" Is a reference to the Roman Poet Juvenal and especially to his tenth satire. So, the parallel between Johnson and the Roman poet Juvenal is very clear

The poem as a whole speaks abound what he calls the vanity of human wishes. This is Johnson's first work, In this poem, the poet asserts that worldly things are meaningless

and incapable of bringing peace of mind. He says that in every busman desire there is pain and suffering, Gold and money breed greed in human beings.

Human beings do crime to wealth beings misery but not peace. He The cardinal of the Roman Catholic

Church between 1514 and [530. Wolsey conquers everyone and acquires power after power. But when he reached to the wealth and power, no one loved him. He did not get any love from pepo e, So, Johnson advises people to control the desires and love mankind. Love and minotulness are sufficient to get happiness. This poem is very similar to the thought and phhesoply propagated by Lord Buddha. Buddha advises everyone to follow the middle path and be merciful and loving to every creature. Only then will true happiness come.

At the beginning of the poem, Johnson opens our eyes to a wide view. H tells us that he will use observation to survey mankind from China to Peru. In other words, we are looking at all of the human nature here and what the speaker of the Poem sees does not make him happy. He notes that mankind is ruled by hope, fear; Desire, and hate and that these emotions often lead people astray. The speaker also says that man is often led by pride which misguides him like a treacherous phantom or ghost in the mist.

Then, he says that reason rarely guides people or sways them to act in considered ways. Entire nations are destroyed because of the schemes and decisions of fools who are guided by a desire for vengeance, not by reason. What's more, fate has a way of turning every wish, every gift of nature, and even the gift of art into something bad. Even qualities like courage and clear speech are corrupted and used toward bad ends

In the last six lines, he says that we need only to look at history to see how it is much better to be a lowly person because if we're a Lord, or one of the Riva each other's throat fighting for Power. The speaker Suggested That laws are twisted According to who wins power Through force. A lowly person is beneath the reach of power. However, a rich traitor is likely to end up in the "Tower" meaning the London Tower-a famous prison in the city of London. So, it's better u be a lowly person because, if we're little guys we can sleep soundly at night, our little cottage will be safe, though even then.
