IMAGINE SISYPHUS HAPPY

This is my reimagination of the great Albert Camus's quote:

In a way, we are all Sisyphus, we are all cursed to roll a boulder for infinity, the boulder differ but are the same, we all come into life unprepared and forced to roll a boulder, we all live and die doing the same essential things and since there's no other way, there's no alternative to what we know, like Sisyphus we've accepted the cycle and kept pushing, it's an inevitable paradox- move the boulder or be crushed.

In some way, we've found joy and life in doing this work, this work that we've made for ourselves from the task we've been given

I think this thought is befitting, I imagine Sisyphus happy when I'm plagued with an existential crisis. It's a nice quote with a touch of nihilism in it- it says life has no meaning but finds beauty in the absurdity.

"Without darkness, there would be no light"

ORIGINAL QUOTE

“I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain. One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”
