Camus was fucking wrong about one major thing. Sisyphus had been a king, he fought the gods and chained death up so no human would die. This is why the gods punished him. So as Sisyphus pushed his rock he had memories of the life he had lived, he knew that he had tried to do a great thing for all humanity. He knew he fought the gods and, briefly, won. He knew why he was being punished. So you can see why maybe he could be a little happy; he tried. His current situation was not absurd, it was a punishment that made some sense.

That is not what it's like for us.

For us it's like we just gained consciousness while pushing the rock up the hill. No gods are watching or care. There is no reason for our fate, we had done nothing to deserve it. We just came into existence being absurdly punished in a godless for no reason with nobody watching. THAT is absurd, THAT is why we are not happy

>free will is our reality.
If you had free will you would not have been determined to be born to your parents, in your city and brought up the way you were speaking the language you were forced to learn first
