Do you agree we should see Sisyphus as an happy man?

Depends on the meaning you find for yourself. I don't think everybody can find their own meaning, therefore, suicide seems like a much more appealing option. I've found my meaning, for now, so I'm okay. However, I have always known that if I lose that meaning, I will most likely end up killing myself one day.

No, anyone else says yes is a wagie who is coping with their own meaningless bullshit.

It doesn't matter how we see him.
He keep pushing the rock, so he obviously feels something - something sufficient enough for him to continue anyhow.

No, not really, but it is a good place for young men to start if they're being drawn to Nihilism.

But that decision has been made for you - you will die inevitably.
Unless you find meaning specifically in doing it yourself or checking out earlier, you may just as well wait.
My meaning for me is curiosity. I know my time is limited and I believe I won't be taking anything of what I do with me, so I keep living not because I hope things will become good and I'll find meaning elsewhere, but simply because I am curious to know how far the shit can go on

hmm, I agree, but I would argue that I have found that meaning. I decided to choose 'fun' in a hedonistic manner. I accept that life is pointless and meaningless so I got a job based around what I love doing as a hobby. Although, I see where you're coming from as that meaning I have chosen of 'doing a job I enjoy' is based on social constructs, so yes, I guess that has been chosen for me.

No anon the meaning you find for yourself has nothing to do with truth, if you've found something to live for then you've found meaning, no matter what it is

Yes how do i know? glad you asked
>Arise, and leave this ignoble world to find the ineffable God abandon body and life and reason and religion; and in His path get for thyself a soul. Know, that whatso is of the true essence of learning and knowledge is all mere falsehood to him who is learned in attributes. Form, and attribute, and essence,--the first is like the womb; the next the membranes, the last the child; thy outward form covers in thy attributes, thy attributes again are a rampart around thy inmost essence; that, like a lamp, is bright in itself, while the other two are as a glass and a niche in the wall.
>Till on that road thou hast endured distress, thou hast two souls, though thy effigy is single. O thou, who art related to phenomenal existence but as soul is to body, whose soul is related to thy individuality but as a man to his name, exertion originates in the body, attraction in the soul; but the search begins in leaving both of these. Contingent existence is for ever an infant before the Eternal; but he who has been purified is free from these dregs.
>So long as the race of man endures, there are two mansions prepared for him; this, for pain and want, that one, for blessing and delight. While earth is the habitation of the sons of men, the tent of their daily supplies is erected over them; esteem then this earth a guest-house, but count man the master of a family; though till he has suffered pain on this dust-heap he will not reach the treasure of that mansion.
- Sanā'ī
If you're connected with source then delight,meaning and bliss are free for taking
