>Am I a pleb?
only if you finished it

Not really.
But if you liked it despite havong anice and comfy life, then maybe.

>tfw can't imagine Sisyphus happy

>>6953938

Me too. I mean, I get that he's supposed to have attachted his own meaning to it, but what? He's there pushing a rock forever. Won't he get bored sooner or later?

>>6953825
That's a strange thing to say. Just because someone has a comfy life doesn't mean they have an easy life.

>>6953944

At least he has something to do.

>Just because someone has a comfy life doesn't mean they have an easy life.
Not him but easy does equal comfortable
Comfortable:
>providing physical ease and relaxation.
>as large as is needed or wanted.

Maybe you're trying to say a comfortable life can be spiritually unfulfilling but it definitely is an easy life.

>>6953944
The point is we're all effectively forever pushing that rock that'll eventually roll down and make all of our work useless and the only way to truly be happy is realize this, accept it, and find meaning in our efforts despite their inherent transience.

I can only imagine a sequel where he escapes and crushes Zeus with the rock.

This would explain why no one worships Zeus anymore

It's my favorite work of nonfiction. I don't give a fuck what /lit/ thinks.

Goddamn butterfly all your posts are so faggy

>i don't understand how greek religion worked
I can't wait until you leave

>>6954103
what do you mean, Greek myth was all about tragedies, plot twists and hero's overcoming.

>>6954019
The guest betraying, enemy's daughter fucking, lying, backstabbing, asshole, gets revenge on god for receiving a completely just punishment from him. Yeah, what a great way to cap off this myth. Really poignant.

>>6954103
I understand it all too well.
Gaw. You have plenty of creative writing threads. You have dozens of Nietzsche threads.

You people are such wet noodles.

>>6954012
HAHA.

>>6954141
this is hellenism not christianity

wouldn't he be the overman if he was happy?

>>6953968
You forgot to check the definitions of easy though.

>>6954141
This is a pretty harsh punishment, but what got the gears of my mind turning was the end results. How does Zeus get sent to Tartarus?
I'm thinking, anon, thinking.

The rock kind of has him pinned in. He's kind of a dope. Distracted by this chore. The moment he's free of pushing and gets to sprint back down after it is probably when he take the time to smile.
He's a representation of the working class

I don't think so, but I like it, too.

I read it when I feel sad and like my life is stuck in a rut. You should read "The Rebel" or "The Stranger" next. The Rebel is non-fiction and a manifesto of sorts centered around the same Absurdist thought that inspired this essay.

The Plague is like a feels story for anyone who relates to The Myth of Sisyphus, but it's much more powerful since it's a full-length narrative.

>>6953802
it makes me feel dead

>>6953938
Yeah, life is shit

>>6953802
not if you're under eighteen.

either way you should be banned.

In Thus Spoke Zarathustra wouldn't this, then, technically be "the last man"?

>>6954376
I do believe so. No expert of course.

>>6953802
Nah, you're just depressed bro.
I actually dig a lot Camus and Absurdism, something that just people with clinical depression can understand.

>>6953944
Do you get bored of life?
