Summary

Albert Camus: The Myth of Sisyphus - Letters to a German Friend - Speeches in Sweden

There is no end in sight for Sisyphus's torments, nor has the gods foreseen an end for them. Also, in that painful constant pushing of the stone, neither sense nor meaning is found. This is exactly the metaphor that Camus uses for humanity. If we remove for a moment the concepts of gods, heaven and hell, then we are left alone with a lifelong struggle that we will surely lose in the end. Death does not come as a release from our struggles, but as a negation of everything we have achieved through our own efforts. Regardless of all that, aware of death and the fact that every man is defeated even before he begins the fight, Camus still asks: can we be happy?
We can, because as he himself says in several places in the text - life is not absurd. Absurdity is life. This painful struggle in which we are all forced to participate is the only thing we know, and therefore we have no other choice. It is the only 'tangible' possibility offered to us, because everything else is hope or faith. In this world, the individual must face the limitations of his own knowledge: "I don't know if this world has a meaning that surpasses it. However, I know that I do not know that meaning and that, for now, it is impossible for me to know it. What does meaning outside of my life mean to me? I can only understand with human terms. What I touch, what resists me, that's what I understand. (...) What other truth can I confess without lying, without mixing a hope that I do not have and that means nothing within the limits of my posture?"
