That’s what I thought. The curse is in the fact that he can’t technically have the boulder remain balanced at the top. He would be free if he could get it to stay up there, but no matter how much and how hard he tries, the stone will always role down. It’s been a long time but that is what I remember from it.
Anyway, the sysyphus myth is supposed to illustrate what we today can also call Sysyphean tasks. Like brushing our teeth, getting a hair cut, cleaning the house, etc etc because no matter how many times we’ve done them, we’ll always will have to do them again and again until we die.
The meditations of the philosphers always have to contend as to how Sysyphus or more accurately we accept that life sentence.
You guys have cracked and absolutely SLAMMED this comic with your deep and unique insight into an obscure myth that isn’t part of every Westerner’s education.

Yeah exactly. The whole point Camus is making is completely fucked by this stupid comic.
Yup.

okay lmao.
I think you could say that about Camus, but that wasn’t where it went wrong.
Hey buddy, that’s what you’d call the joke. You can tell because of the extremely obvious sarcasm.
