> sisyphus
> gods decide to grant sisyphus some pity
> injecting him with a substance that gives him an immense desire and pleasure to push stones
> does sisyphus's life have meaning now :thinking:
> no, because as a rational person, sisyfos realizes that his work is meaningless, insignificant
> gods tell sisyphus that whenever he pushes the stone to the top of the mountain, a soul is released from eternal suffering to eternal happiness
> because there is an infinite number of individual souls, this brings endless purpose to sisyphus's life :thinking:
> gods, however, lied to sisyphus
> as a critical person, sisyphos would have realized that there is no reason why pushing a stone up the mountain would free a soul from suffering
> so this does not bring purpose to sisyphus's life
> had the gods forced sisyphus to believe this myth, he would have lost something essential to his humanity: critical :thinking:
> thus, sisyphus could not have gained purpose to his life as a true human being
> we learn from this that it sucks to be sisyphus
