Sisyphean struggle
A Sisyphean struggle refers to a task that is endless and futile, where no matter how much effort is invested, the goal remains unattainable or constantly resets. Inspired by the myth of Sisyphus, who was condemned to roll a boulder uphill only for it to roll back down each time, it symbolizes persistent but ultimately pointless effort. This concept highlights the emotional and philosophical challenge of engaging in ongoing, seemingly hopeless pursuits that demand perseverance despite the lack of tangible progress or reward.
