This edition has not been scanned, but typed afresh word for word. As such, it does not exhibit the drawbacks that scanning introduces: typos, thick looking text, and occasional illegibility. This public domain book looks 'normal.' So what is the mirage of life? The mirage of life is the satisfaction that you think will be yours after you achieve greatness, supposing that you achieve it. Many persons throughout history have achieved far more greatness than you can hope even to come close to. And they were no more fulfilled in the end than the 'castle in the air' can be lived in. Books are being written each day about how a person should aim as high as possible in order to be as happy as possible. But what if this approach is wrong? What if happiness is not waiting on the top rung of that ladder? What if it's a mirage? Should you not read at least one book about that? Never mind self-help books for a minute. How about a book that will put your self in its place, in the consideration of your greatest good? This book from 1867, if taken to heart, can save you a lot of time and pain. It can direct you to a better way that leads to actual happiness, which happiness will carry you, not only to your deathbed, but through it, and even into the enjoyment of another world.
