Abstract :

Saadi, as a social psychologist by reflecting upon the spirit of the society, always tried to build a healthy ideal society by highlighting good and worthy affairs and rejecting the bad ones. He is often in compliance with the affairs of the world and by placing value on the act of serving the people; he aims at encouraging the members of the society especially the rulers to be at the service of the people. Hence, he can relieve some of the pains and suffering of the human beings. On the one hand, he calls for human beings cooperation and sympathy with their fellowmen in order to release them from pain and suffering. on the other hand, by making use of different ethical, religious, and rational discourses and highlighting the good affairs he tries to provide necessary frameworks to build a healthy and balanced society. He establishes a sound and balanced bond accompanied by love and endearment to each other in social occasions and communications among the people. As a result, he brings spiritual peace and comfort to the society. In a structural and comprehensive perspective on the poems and prose of Saadi, we can say that Saadi has ethical and humane approach toward the phenomena of pain and suffering, and the pain and sufferings raised in his poems belong to the whole society rather than the specific strata or society; they belong to all the individuals who are in contact with each other like the organs of human body.
