Shoulder To The Stone

People tend to feel sorry for Sisyphus, because the gods condemned him with the job of rolling a stone up a hill everyday. Every night the stone would roll back down again and mangle him, and every morning he had to get up and do it all over again. But in Albert Camus’ version of the myth, Sisyphus wore a smile. Because through hard work, by putting his shoulder to the stone, he brought order to the chaos of life. He brought meaning to his own life, and to the universe.
