CAMUS

 Sysiphus myth

For hide the Death sysiphus was condemned to a lifetime  of rowling a boulder up a hill. Backbreaking. Only to reach the top of the hill and had the boulder roll over to the bottom to start all over again. Condemned to a lifetime of pain only to have his efforts be completly futile in the end.

Camus said that this was a methaphore for life.


"There is only one seriuos philosophical problem" Camus says, "and that is suicide. Deciding whether or not the life is worth living is to answer the fundamental question in philosophy. All other questions follow from that"

Camus sees this question of suicide a natural response to an underlying premise, namely that life is absurd in a variety of ways. As we have seen, both the presence and absence of life (death) give rise to the condition: it is absurd to continually seek meaning in life when there is none, and it is absurd to hope for some form of continued existence afte death given that the latter results in our extinction
