🪨✨ The Myth of Sisyphus

✍️ Author: Albert Camus
🧠💭 “There is only one really serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide.” — Albert Camus

In this revolutionary philosophical essay, Albert Camus, a Nobel Prize-winning author and philosopher, dives headfirst into the eternal question:
👉 What is the meaning of life in a world that appears meaningless?

The Myth of Sisyphus is a cornerstone of existential and absurdist thought, exploring how we humans grapple with absurdity — the conflict between our desire to find purpose and the silent, indifferent universe. 🌌💔

🔍 At a Glance

📚 Genre: Philosophical Essay
🧭 Focus: Absurdism — the idea that human life has no ultimate meaning, yet we still strive for significance
🧱 Symbol: Sisyphus — condemned to push a boulder up a hill for eternity, only for it to roll down again

🌟 Key Concepts You’ll Encounter:

🌀 Absurd Hero: Camus reimagines Sisyphus as a symbol of human resilience, not defeat. Even in an endless, pointless task, he finds meaning through the act of rebellion — choosing to continue.

🧩 Revolt vs. Resignation:
Camus argues that once we recognize life’s absurdity, we have two choices:

• 👎 Resign (e.g., suicide or escape into illusion)

• 👍 Revolt — to live on with passion and freedom despite the absurd

🗣️ Dialogue with Philosophy:
He engages with Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, and others — but ultimately rejects faith as a solution, choosing lucid living over blind belief.

✅ If you’ve ever questioned the point of life, work, or suffering
✅ If you seek clarity in chaos, or hope without illusion
✅ If you’re fascinated by existential questions and modern philosophy
✅ If you love deep, elegant writing that is both challenging and liberating

🔥 Quotes That Hit Hard
