>The struggle itself ... is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy

Is this the ultimate cope?

it's a short book and it still feels like a waste of time

Happiness is not found in the attainment of a goal, but rather the process of attainment itself, the overcoming and improvement of the current circumstance, and not the circumstance itself. We evolved this way because it keeps us going even when things seem fine. That is why we are always doing something, even if’s just a cheap surrogate activity.

Do you think there is something outside of this gay substance? Id rather live as a different entity

>Id rather live as a different entity

“I’m not powerful enough” 



If you’re weak then you are weak. Not everyone must confront these problems because they don’t even exist for some people. The feeling of a strong will, the realization that you sbape your environment to your needs and are able to get what you want, this is what you truly crave.

>overcoming and improvement of the current circumstance

Except Sisyphus will never overcome or improve his current circumstance.

So the metaphor Camus uses is shitty and invalid

This simple statement helped me more than a year of psychology. The root of my problems really is lack of power with a strong will. Thanks anon.

In the book, he goes to great lengths in order to accuse Kierkegaard of having commited philosophical suicide, only for him to then propone a solution akin to philosophical Stockholm Syndrome. For this reason, Camus will always remain the most inept imbecile to me. He universalized his own particular perspective. Had he been born with a body like Sartre's, he would have never come to such an asinine conclusion.



>One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

So one must forbid oneself from "falling prey" to theistic beliefs, but you absolutely MUST think that a situation as gruesome as Sisyphus' is conducive to happiness. What sounds like the bigger leap of faith now? I'd rather commit "philosophical suicide" than be a "philosophical cuck." Only an out of touch French intellectual, who uses his fame mainly to get a sniff of female genitalia could have written such a vapid book.

This has nothing to do with Camus

>He universalized his own particular perspective. Had he been born with a body like Sartre's, he would have never come to such an asinine conclusion.

Nailed it. Camus is the philosophical posterboy for this kind of dudebro myopia.

Dudebro myopia is just about a pretty succint characterization of Camus. He's the kind of dullard who thought:

>Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Suffering Real Hahahaha Nigga Just Like The Struggle Like Nigga Become A Masochist Haha

and imagined himself to be some sort of philosophical genius of the likes like Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, which is so furiously hilarious, it borders on cheap comedy.



The fact that he has become the philosopher of choice of all those TikTok zoomers tells you all you need to know about him.

Imagine reading Shestov and walking away with you must le imagine le sisyphus le happy.

none of us will ever overcome anything because there's nothing fundamentally meaningful about life; once you're done with one thing you focus on some other thing

the only way not to kill yourself when you realise all your life efforts amount to nothing at all is to seek meaning in the act of overcoming
