He’s Like a Anakin and Padme.
Huh. Neat. 😗
Albert Camus was a French Philosopher in the early half of the 20th century. He believed the nature of living in and of itself was an act of the absurd. For instance: We tell ourselves we are free but subject ourselves to mentally and physically grinding labor that destroys our personal freedom. To that effect, the dissatisfaction we have in our lives is a result of being exausted of our time and our energies leading to a sort of depression. Camus’ answer as I understand it is to claim what time we have.
Relating the situation to the Myth of Sisyphus (his essay explaining this goes by the same name) he discusses the situation of Sisyphus. Sisyphus, a once proud Greek king angered the gods, and their punishment to them was to toil in rolling a massive boulder up a mountain for all eternity, only for it to reach the top and just roll back down and forcing him to repeat the task. The intent of the punishment being to deprive him of punishment by taking away his freedom. To this he relates this to the experience if the modern man, to repeat the same dull and senseless task over and over, day in and day out.
But he has a remedy for this. Saying that while Sisyphus must push up the boulder for all eternity and retrieve it when it falls he is not without freedom. Sisyphus can make an act of radical rebellion and freedom but seizing what time he has walking from the top of the mountain to the bottom to get the boulder back. This is Sisyphus’ moment, and not the gods’. It is his radical period of rebellion he has control over. It is the moment he is happy.
Camus’ final line is: “One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”
Understand the reference I do not.
“One must imagine the pony happy.”
