In Camus’ famous essay, “The Myth of Sisyphus,” he explores what it means to be an absurd hero: one who fully recognizes the futility and meaninglessness of one’s life, but despite that goes on living one’s limited time on earth joyfully. To me, Camus’ re-envisioning of the mythic character, Sisyphus, illustrates Camus’ philosophical take on what it’s like to be stuck in what you may consider a meaningless life.
