The "Myth of Sisyphus" is a philosophical essay by Albert Camus that explores the concept of absurdism. It tells the story of Sisyphus, a figure from Greek mythology who is condemned to roll a boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down each time he reaches the top. This endless cycle symbolizes the struggle of human existence and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe. Camus argues that, despite the futility of Sisyphus's task, one can find happiness in embracing the struggle itself. He suggests that recognizing the absurdity of life allows individuals to create their own meaning, ultimately leading to a sense of freedom and fulfillment.
