Sisyphus myth

If you are not interested in philosophy, please go around. Don't think about life, please go around. If you don't feel hot about life, please go around. Because of its obscurity and profound thinking about philosophy, you can't get the reading pleasure you want.

If your life is boring and repeated day after day, you can see the end at a glance. If your life is hard, it seems that you will never see hope. If your life cycle is repetitive and monotonous, if. . . . . . What will happen to you?

Albert camus started with two poems by Pindar in his Myth of Sisyphus:

My soul just wants eternal life.

Do your best.

Ridiculous life, not seeking eternal life, but trying your best.

Camus said, "judging whether life is worth living is equivalent to answering the fundamental question of philosophy."

What is absurd? Life is alive, misplaced, degenerate, depressed and out of place. . . . . . Many scenes make people feel uncomfortable. This discomfort is absurd. Camus said, "The so-called absurdity refers to the conflict between irrationality and desire that must be clarified, and the call for truth resounds through the deepest part of people's hearts."

Does this obscure statement make you understand what is absurd? It doesn't matter, what matters is your understanding and definition of the absurdity of this world.

The world we live in is full of contradictions, anxiety and powerlessness. Facing the mirror, the "self" you see is so strange. Who is ta? Why is Ta here? What is Ta doing? Life is like an absurd joke.

Sisyphus offended the gods and was sent to hell. In order to punish him, the gods ordered him to push a boulder to the top of the mountain. The boulder was so heavy that it rolled down the foot of the mountain again and again. Sisyph's punishment for this is endless. The gods think that there is no more severe punishment than this kind of ineffective and hopeless labor, and Sisyphus's life is slowly consumed in such an ineffective and hopeless labor.

Myth itself is the embodiment of the absurdity of human life.

Faced with such a dilemma, many people say that Sisyphus can completely escape. If I ignored the punishment of the gods, I wouldn't push that boulder. Kill me. Or, I'll just sit at the foot of the mountain and be indifferent, as you like, that's all. These two choices seem to be more reasonable and the simplest survival rule. But why did Sisyphus insist on pushing the stone up the mountain again and again and never give up?

Camus put forward three treatments in this book: the solution to useless and hopeless labor:

1. Physical suicide, when it is really impossible to face absurd and meaningless life and unnecessary pain, end life and get rid of it.

2. Philosophy committed suicide, no longer asking about the meaning of life, drifting with the tide and muddling along.

3. The third is Sisyphus's choice. He completely accepted the absurdity and nothingness of life. He accepted the painful fate and searched for the meaning of life in endless futility. Although life is repetitive and absurd, enthusiasm for life is the foundation of life.

The second is the choice of most people.

Standing by Sisyphus's side, we can understand Camus's absurd philosophy by seeing his body that is almost integrated with the boulder continue to fight against the weight of the boulder. Camus called Sisyphus an "absurd hero". In fact, this is also his definition of human beings, and it is a supreme praise from him. Absurdity cannot dispel the meaning of human being as the same body, but the cognition of absurdity liberates individuals. It is it that urges us to pursue what we love and personal freedom with our limited life when facing the unchangeable reality. And this kind of pursuit is not the happiness we want?

As Camus said, "With contempt, there is no invincible fate." Sisyphus will lead you to despise the empty life and overcome the sadness of fate. In the struggle of pushing stones up the mountain, there is a full soul.

It's all in the game All beings suffer. Play a little sweet.
