Thank goodness, I have been wondering this for a while. Most of it stems from “If Sisyphus is happy, why am I unhappy? How did he do it?”

I’ve been diagnosed with severe Major Depressive Disorder for awhile now, and since the beginning I’ve been asking myself why. I’ve never found the answer, but every time I watch one of your videos, I feel that I get a little bit closer. Please know that your content does not fall on deaf ears. If nothing else, you’ve made a difference for me.

is there a lore reason why the indomitable human spirit occasionally gives me the motivation to push on in spite of my dire circumstances? Am I stupid?

The last line "What has happened has happened, and what will happen is never guaranteed. Now, what will you do next?" sums up this whole video and I love it

I've always been stuck on the specific choice of the word "must imagine" as in "One MUST IMAGINE Sisyphus happy, because the alternative, or to OBSERVE HIS REALITY, would be unbearable."

One must imagine Camus so miserable that Sisyphus looked happy by comparison.

My dad died suddenly a week ago. It was not unexpected or understood by anybody. Including the doctors. And the "what ifs" Ive experienced were the worst thing I've ever felt. So thank you for this video.

"one must imagine sisyphus happy" is a thought that has been constantly on my mind lately. when i sent a ton of messages to get an "ok" "yeah" "idk" in return. when i kept throwing up everyday for three months. when i felt a cold crawling inside of my arms and shoulders upon hearing something that broke me. when i keep loving someone who hurt me badly.

We must imagine Sisyphus happy because he must have learned by now how to live with himself for eternity.

I always interpreted it as "one MUST imagine Sisyphus happy" because fathoming eternal suffering would break anyone. It's a demand, a requirement to remain sane

i love this video, it is so hard to find people explaining the process of being happy rather then them just spouting philosophy and not actually giving any path towards it.

Going through a topic like this without mentioning the ancient stoics at all is a commendable feat
