Is a fish happy in its tank?

>>10819916

necessarily, or else be squished

no but we are

>>10819916
Is anyone?

>>10819951

audrey hep, gene wild

content and curious might be a better word/s. but yeah, it's absolutely achievable.

>>10819916
No. But perhaps if I were a handsome, successful, fashionable, intelligent, talented giga chad who spent his life falling ass backwards into pussy and international acclaim, it might be easier to do so

>>10819965
>Lists dead people as happy
Now you know how Sisyphus felt.

>>10819916
No that's just something normals repeat to themselves to get through the day.

Read Bartleby the Scriverer. The Anti-Sisyphus.

>>10819916
he had a job

damn senpai, this is actually pretty fun

>>10819969

hello from someone who falls and is falling into these categories. you, too, can do, what i do. u just need to stop saying silly things like that. the grass is greener mentality will have you rot in a field that is much, much greener than you would expect if you just had an eye for color. bozo

>>10819974
you have to make it to the end for people to know it was genuine. they knew what they were, it just takes most of us some time to come to terms.

>>10819969

also stop categorizing things like this. toss the lego mind.

love your darling >>10819990

>>10819969
you can become all of this its not like everyone is born w these traits

>>10819990
I strongly doubt you are talented or have achieved international acclaim

>>10819969
Just bee yourself, anon.

>>10820070

strongly doubt you read closely into "falls and is falling into these categories"

pretend I didn't respond

>>10819916
If he isn't he should be. A life of constant self betterment sounds nice.

>>10819916
Hey, virgin, just be happy, bro. Chad's life may seem much more fulfilling but he's facing the same existential crisis so if he can be happy why can't you be happy too? Also you will always be fucked and you must accept it because having hope is philosophical suicide.
Camus is such a genius.

>>10820134

the suicide of philosophy is the activation of life

>>10819916
In life yeah
Currently no, he's in hell
If we find the meaning to our lives to be something so menial and pointless we'd still kill ourselves, but Sisyphus is already dead

>>10819916
He's happy because he's memorised the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius and ponders the imperial wisdom on his ascent.

>>10820001
Lego?

>>10820167

marcus aurelius on it boss

>>10820134
He can be happy because even though he's having the same existential crisis he has more distractions thanks to being a chad.

>>10819969
Replying to my own post to say that I forgot "athletic"

>Distractions make you happy
There's nothing stopping you from drowning yourself in pleasures other than the fact that you know it is ultimately hollow.

>>10820184

you've been thinking about it this entire time lol

>>10819916
Do you think it matters?

>>10819916
If he was happy, then he was autistic. Only autists like playing JRPGs with copious amounts of grind for example.

>>10820192
Well I don't think I'd say that. I had left the thread about half an hour ago to float around Twitter and 4chan's other media boards, but ended up looping back around to /lit/. It was then I saw the thread at the top of the catalog and figured I probably had replies from the temporarily embarrassed literary geniuses who populate this board. When I reread my post I noticed I had forgotten to mention one of Camus's most notable and chaddish characteristics, so I corrected myself, and here we are

>>10820212
ur pathetic lol XD

>>10820212

woof big boy

He's forced to do it for eternity, any happiness he might have had will eventually be swept away by the sheer amount of time he spends doing the same thing over and over again, in the end, only apathy would be left.

>>10819969
Just be not ugly and charismatic.

>>10819916
If Kierkegaard were Sisyphus he would stand on top the mountain as a pseudonym pushed the bolder

>>10819916
no. if he could avoid doint it, he would. who would work the whole day if they did not need to? Only an idiot, thats who.

arent we told he is unhappy ?

was she ar girl?

>>10819916
>just be content squandering your only life doing the same shit day in and day out
I seriously hate the """"philosophy""" of Camus. He's one of the deniers of life that Nietzsche tried to warn us about, basically a post religion version of a christfag

>>10821940
we're told his final triumph is his spite towards the gods and that we must imagine him happy

>>10820541
too bad I'm ugly and uncharismatic then lol

>>10819979
did you make this wojak? don't think I've ever seen a bartleby post on here

>>10819969
you fool, your ideal Chad is the least happy of us all, for success in such earthly pursuits belies a lack of their nessesity for his character.

the question "is sisiphus happy" is missing the point.

In the myth, no. But according to Camus, yes.

>>10822285
Is that the Ukrainian girl from Spidey 2?

>>10819916
Briefly.

>>10819916
He is no different to the average member of society who perpetually repeat week after week.

Happiness is the temporary cessation of suffering/repetition so no he was not happy.

Life's goal is not to be happy anyway - it's impossible.
