Sisyphus Community

Even if we find our burdens again...

Sisyphus teaches us the fidelity that raises rocks and negates Gods. The universe, without a master, is neither sterile nor fertile, and he too concludes that all is well. The struggle towards the heavens is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy. -an abridged quotation… read more

Happy Sisyphus

Ever heard of Gold Medal Depression? Ever climbed a mountain and experience the uphill as much more engaging than going back downhill? Humans are built for struggle. To strive towards a goal. Once you reach a goal, you will want another to look forward to. "I want", not "I have" is the driver of… read more

Coyote vs Acme

I'm going to say the obvious thing here - this really should not have been scrapped for tax reasons. Kinda wish they would release the other movie Warner Bros and HBO did that to, Batgirl, but it's extremely unlikely that will occur. Good movie, very funny, touching ending. Just one thing -… read more

Dirty dishes

Are dirty dishes the modern day equivalent of Sisyphus and the boulder? 🤣

But Make it Spreadsheet

Whats your favorite myth?

Personally I enjoy the myth of Sisyphus. Favorite part is how Thanatos (the literal god of death) wouldn't go back to kill him until he was old and bed ridden.

I think image of a man writing to women on dating sites should be new and more accurate representation of Sisyphus work

Sisyphus always must be happy

Sisyphus

In Greek mythology, Sisyphus is a king cursed by Hades to push a bolder up a mountain, only to have it roll back down the hill the moment before it reaches the top. In life, Sisyphus is a metaphor about the dangers of hubris, and an examination of the futility of attempting to achieve the… read more

Kdrama suggestions?

I've officially been sucked into the world of Kdramas lol. My current list: 1. Squid Game 2. My name 3. Alice in Borderland (not a Kdrama, but still pretty good). 4. Sisyphus: The Myth 5. Hellbound 6. Sweet Home (currently watching) Anymore suggestions? I am a sucker for gore and dystopias. (edited)

An absurd thought

In my quest for meaning in a world that seems to lack any real purpose, I came face-to-face with the absurdity of my existence, struggling to make sense of it all, knowing deep down that there might not be a clear answer. So, what do I do? Do I throw my hands up and give in to the chaos, or do I… read more

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

The curse of Sisyphus is to spend eternity doing something meaningless, something you can't change, but you have to keep doing it day after day. This is what Camus meant by "absurdity." When all the end is to die, what is the meaning of our life?Camus has given the answer,there's no meaning, to… (edited) read more

Sisyphus

Humanity, a Sisyphus in our time, We struggle on with little hope in sight, Pushing up the boulder of life's climb, Only to watch it roll back down each night. Our futile efforts lead us to despair, As we see the same cycle play out again and again, Trapped in a never-ending snare, We are doomed… read more

Sisyphus' eternal punishment

Sisyphus was a disdainful king who was punished by the gods. The arduous task imposed on him was to push a huge boulder down the side of a mountain. When the boulder reached the top, it fell down the slope again, and Sisyphus could do nothing to prevent it. Again and again the same thing happened,… read more

Can we talk about this

Music is more Available now more than ever and most of us haven't even Scraped the 1% of the charts at all. So many good artist going unnoticed and I think some need a shoutout. Share a few bands from different genres you know and see if you know anyone else's. I'll go first Mb14 - The Wolf /… (edited) read more

Failing exams

How do you cope with failing an exam? Especially in university when the stakes are high..? Like I feel like sisyphus always trying and never succeeding and not meant to be doing what I want to do... When I can't accomplish my bachelor's how should I even get my master's degree or else? It's not… (edited) read more

"We must imagine Sisyphus happy." (Albert Camus)

What is your philosophical school?

existentialism It is the belief that through a combination of consciousness, free will, and personal responsibility, one can construct one's own meaning within a world that is intrinsically meaningless. It is a philosophical movement and a historical term that refers to a period of French… read more

Ouroboros x Sisyphus

Folie à deux

I. The hedonist in me wants to enclosed your wonders inside my nebulactic greed, Trapped you, smother you, colonize you with cosmic splendor Allowing zero passage of escape, I beg you, please, lend your presence for me to forsake, Loan me a piece of you that I could glue in my psychedelic… (edited) read more

Sisyphus' fishy

For men: Even after bettering yourself do you feel flawed?

Like you're missing something from your life. Sort of like this feeling of inescapable dread that follows everywhere you go and keeps pushing doubts in front of the things you enjoy doing or getting better at. No matter what I work towards, whether it be a new job, meeting new people for the first… read more

I've been reading yaoi for several years. And it gets bigger and bigger... The largest consumer of yaoi is female.... So the size is for female's eyes.... Hmmmm Damn

SISYPHUS

This drama has an intriguing storyline!! Watch it!

Absurdism

I have taken great comfort in this particular philosophy. Albert Camus's essay "Myth of Sisyphus" has really solidified my outlook on life. It's like he is giving you a lecture and is arguing with you to not commit suicide. He speaks of other philosophers and their ideas merits. But he also… read more

Sisyphus must love the boulder!

How absurd we all are.

“The workman of today, works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd than Sisyphus's" -Camus We wake up, we toil, we sleep; we wake up, we toil, we sleep; we push the boulder up, it rolls back down, we start again. And this cyclical mundanity points to the… read more

Sisyphus

Love yourself and love the journey

Its easy to feel like Sisyphus, endlessly rolling the same boulder up the same hill. But its worth remembering that Sisyphus was happy with each step and celebrated everytime he reached the peak, even if the boulder rolled back down a moment later.

The job that I desperately wanted 20 months back
