Camus' essay explores the concept of the absurd— the conflict between humans' desire to find meaning in life and the universe's indifference. Using the Greek myth of Sisyphus, who is condemned to eternally roll a boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down, Camus argues that embracing the absurd and continuing the struggle without hope is a form of triumph. The essay ultimately suggests that we must imagine Sisyphus as happy. #Existentialism #Absurdism #Philosophy

The myth of normal is that we assume the conditions of society are healthy simply because we are used to them.
