Why Sisyphus Happy?

The title of my blog, Sisyphus Happy, comes from the philosophical essay The Myth of Sisyphus written by Albert Camus in 1942.

In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was condemned to repeat forever the same meaningless task of pushing a rock up a mountain, only to see it roll down again.

Camus concludes his essay, "The struggle itself...is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
