Myth of Sisyphus

The Myth of Sisyphus, a philosophical essay by Albert Camus, tells the story of Sisyphus, a figure from Greek mythology condemned to endlessly roll a boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down each time he reaches the top. Camus uses this story to illustrate the absurdity of life and the human condition, suggesting that even in the face of meaningless toil, one can find purpose. By embracing our struggles without hope for a final success, we can achieve a form of personal freedom and resilience, choosing to find meaning in the effort itself.
