To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, it will be said, is not the dogma of the im- mortality of the soul consoling for beings who often find themselves very unhappy here below? If this should be an illusion, is it not a sweet and agreeable one? Is it not a benefit for man to believe that he can live again and enjoy, sometime, the happi- ness which is refused to him on earth ? Thus, poor mortals ! you make your wishes the measure of the truth! Because you desire to live forever, and to be happier, you conclude from thence that ...you will live forever, and that you will be more fortunate in an unknown world than in the known world, in which you so often suffer ! Consent, then, to leave without regret this world, which causes more trouble than pleasure to the majority of you. Resign yourselves to the order of destiny, which decrees that you, like all other beings, should not endure forever. But what will become of me ? you ask ! What you were several millions of years ago. You were then, I do not know what ; resign your- selves, then, to become again in an instant, I do not know what ; what you were then ; return peaceably to the universal home from which you came with- SUPERSTITION IN ALL AGES 153 out your knowledge into your material form, and pass by without murmuring, like all the beings which surround you!
