    Never has been.

    There is meaning in the endless toil, one can find peace in knowing that the boulder will never reach the top. Let go of expecting a reward for reaching the top, and appreciate the rewards in pushing the boulder.

        How about we push the boulder onto a ridge and have some pina coladas for a bit several years

        Edit: Maybe we just leave the boulder there and invent something to carry it up

          But then we forego the peace achieved by appreciating the rewards inherent to making boulder go up.

        What happens to Sisyphus if he just… Let the boulder roll all the way down?

          I’m sure that after half an eternity, Sisyphus would start to get creative with it. I bet he surfed down the mountain on the boulder once just to see if he could.

          Then one must imagine Sisyphus lazy. Repetitive toil in exchange for the right to exist is simply the natural order.

                Hermes: “Shouldn’t he have a more severe punishment for not performing his punishment?”

                Hades: “What am I supposed to punish him with? A second boulder he won’t push?”
