      “The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”

      The man is a lunatic. Prolonged struggle and strife without at least some visible progress is abject torture.

        The existentialists didn’t agree on much, but they all saw absurdity in existence. Is pushing a rock up a hill any more or less absurd than a 9-5 paper pushing job?

          I think the argument is that the 9-5 is torturous by a particularly direct comparison to sysiphus. Granted, most work is easier than pushing a boulder, but just as life stealing.

        all philosophy will sound bad if you imagine the worst possible case scenario it could apply to
