  It has been said that that the sisyphus myth is not all about pushing a rock for all eternity but that he also gets to enjoy his walk back down the mountain to retrieve the rock. So while life may be a struggle and futile it can still be enjoyable in between struggles.

  I always liked philosophy, but Camus really ignited a fire in me. Thanks to The Myth of Sisyphus I really got into literature. Camus was the one who introduced me to the works of Dostoevsky and Kafka.

  &quot;....life itself is the biggest gift and that&apos;s what matters. &quot;<br>Well said.

  I had a philosophy professor who literally wrote a book on Camus&apos; Absurdity &apos;Beyond Absurdity&apos;&apos; by Dr. Robert Trundle and Ramakrishna Puligandli), this professors doctoral professor was Hazel Barnes (English translator of Sartre&apos;s &quot;Being and Nothingness&quot;.) As good as this professor was (one of my absolute best teachers in my entire schooling), this video&apos;s explanation was by far the most clear and concise overview of Camus I have EVER heard!

  Reason is not prerequisite for life; biological life is a mindless system developed in the universe, perhaps, &apos;to know itself&apos;.

  &apos;In the midst of winter I found there was within me an endless summer&apos;. Having lived a lot of my childhood in violent darkness, in adulthood I eventually found light which I learned was always there. Where the actual quote comes in &apos;the stranger&apos; resonates deep with me. There were some good times. They help to keep the darkness at bay.

  I especially like the ending. Telling of the purposes he found for himself. <br>I like cooking over the fire and planting fruit trees. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/bringbackeden">#BringbackEden</a>

  Its not the pursuit of happiness but the pursuit of love and peace that gives you happiness.
