We are all modern day Sisyphus, we work tirelessly day in and day out. Without the rock, or the effort, he won’t have been a topic of anyone’s discussion.
Pushing the rock was Sisyphus’ purpose, and no matter how evil he was, he is still remembered for his labor towards his purpose. Sisyphus was unstoppable, he pushed the rock unabated every time it rolled down. His take on Sisyphus’ situation was unique and somehow the whole view of Sisyphus pushing the rock uphill changed for me. Honestly, when I read about his story, I didn’t quite understand what was so special about it that it is referred by so many people until I read some excerpts from Albert Camus’ book on the ‘Myth of Sisyphus’Ĭamus imagined Sisyphus smiling while pushing the rock and embracing his situation without thinking of the past or the future. Ever since, he has been known for pushing the rock tirelessly till eternity. Sisyphus was a cruel Greek king who was punished to push a large rock up on a steep hill, only to find it rolling back on nearing the top. Let me start with a small introduction on Sisyphus.
