Influenced by philosophers such as Søren Kierkegaard, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Friedrich Nietzsche, Camus introduces his philosophy of the absurd, that life is inherently devoid of meaning and consequently absurd, but humans will nevertheless forever search for meaning.
Camus compares the absurdity of man's life with the situation of Sisyphus, a figure of Greek mythology who was condemned to repeat forever the same meaningless task of pushing a boulder up a mountain, only to see it roll down again.
Camus claims that when Sisyphus acknowledges the futility of his task and the certainty of his fate, he is freed to realize the absurdity of his situation and to reach a state of contented acceptance. With a nod to the similarly cursed Greek hero Oedipus, Camus concludes that "all is well," indeed, that "one must imagine Sisyphus happy."
The Myth of Sisyphus, through a chapter from the Greek mythology and Greek philosophy teaches us the way to find beauty in everything, and effortlessly stay in the present moment.
The Myth of Sisyphus is also sometimes referred to as The Philosophy of the Absurd, The Absurd Man or The Absurd Hero. Sometimes a challenging task is also referred to as Sisyphean Task. The phrase originated from this philosophical essay.

Isn't it absurd how a book about hopelessness, death and the uselessness of life can be so inspiring and calming?

Damn. That was powerful, Camus is maybe my favorite philosopher. He's taught me to see life in a different way by showing that life is truly about the journey of living, day to day. Like Camus for me I don't need an exact answer as to why I'm here or what my purpose is, but that simply my life is my why! Any moment can be of beauty or hold meaning but that ultimately is always up to you. Like you said most of our lives are made up of mundane tasks but if everything you do has value to you then life becomes a lot different. A lot of people don't really take advantage of such a mindset, and I think it can truly change ones perspective. It's certainly not easy when the people surrounding you seem to always go with the flow of life and follow the social norms. That is completely fine but just personally makes it hard to really do the things you want to do in life. I don't want to be that person who says "I just don't know where the time went, it just flew by". I want to live a full life with value in every moment but it's definitely hard with the society we're in and social pressures that people put on us.
Yeah long comment but I just had to get that out of me.😄
Great visuals and content. This one really hit me, keep up the great work.

"In the face of such contradictions and obscurities must be conclude that there is no relationship between the opinion one has about life and the act one commits to leave it"
~Albert camus (The Myth of Sisyphus)

This book found me at exactly the right time. I noticed in the last year or so being overwhelmed by how beautiful everything is, especially the mundane. And reading this validates my feeling and strengthens my sense of self

I've been exposed to several sources that reference the famous Camus essay. It clicked with me, and I have found myself referring to it, but I never actually read it. I decided to actually read it, but as with so many other philosophical writings, I am finding it damn near impenetrable. The only time I start to get a grasp of what he is saying is when he offers concrete examples (like the one about the guy in the phone booth.) So frustrating. Surely I'm not this stupid. Well, maybe I am. I just wish that there was a video that explained HOW to read such writings rather than just describing what the author supposedly meant.

I once made a presentation about existentialists in my uni. It was awesome, teacher loved it.

Moments pass by before we know it, so we must enjoy those moments. In my opinion, the meaning of life is simply to live. Live and enjoy each moment while you live, even the little things. It's not the destination that brings meaning and happiness, it's the journey, a constant goal that we are working for and accomplishing daily just by living and trying to enjoy the life we live.

Im reading the book at the moment, before this I read the stranger. Anyways, its a hard to read the essay and understand everything he says. I think you did a very good job explaining it. Especially the analogies.
Hopefully your channel grows and you get to make more of this! Cheers buddy!
