Why did God not create life, pure euphoria that lasts a generation? Why do we not win happiness without trouble or despair? Why does love suffocate in our hearts, and the beloved becomes and goes on the goal of a kiss from us?!

In "The Mirage," Naguib Mahfouz delves into profound questions about the nature of human existence. He ponders why life isn't filled with unending joy and how happiness often coexists with pain and hardship. The author questions the necessity of struggle and the reasons for the fleeting nature of bliss, suggesting that challenges are an integral part of the human experience.

Furthermore, Mahfouz explores the complexities of love, illustrating how it can become overwhelming and elusive. His reflections highlight the paradox of affection, where desire can sometimes transform into longing, making love feel like a distant pursuit. Through these themes, the narrative evokes a deep contemplation of life's intricate and often contradictory emotions.
