Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus

Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus" explores how life is inherently absurd because of the disconnect between humans' desire for meaning and the universe's silence. Sisyphus, condemned to endlessly roll a boulder uphill only to watch it fall, symbolizes this relentless struggle. Camus argues that rather than despair, we should embrace this absurdity, living fully and authentically despite life's lack of ultimate purpose. In doing so, we find a form of revolt and personal freedom, turning the absurd condition into a source of meaning through conscious acceptance and resilience.
