“Truth” for Chaucer embodies the way human beings can live happily and peacefully, in harmony with god. He is presenting a world corrupted, which is not so different from the one we’re living now. As he said: "for greed entails hate and social climbing uncertainty”, my interpretation is that greed equals hate, since wanting to have or to own more personal possessions, like material goods are, generates envy, therefore, hate.
Social climbing entails uncertainty, why? Is it because of money or a need of self-assurance? How can you socially climb? Through pretending being another person you aren't to get what you want? Well, things change so easily that if social status it’s important for you, one can become even more insecure when having a high social status. Furthermore, he mentions the existence god, and it means he is devoted to his image and how he feels that truth and god gives people an unbeatable balance and harmony in life which will enable them heaven.
I wonder...is that so?
