marginalia · The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus

camus: one must imagine sisyphus happy.

read it slowly. he doesn’t say sisyphus is happy.
he says you must imagine it.

it’s not a description. it’s an instruction.
and it’s work. you have to do it, deliberately,
every time you walk back down the hill.

nobody is coming to tell you the rock means something.
you have to imagine it.
you have to do it again tomorrow.
that’s the whole philosophy
and it is much harder than the poster makes it look.
