Excerpt from a recent letter I'd written to [Omitted]:
...The thing about Sisyphus is that he doesn't need chains. He doesn't require prodding. His is a labor of love. There is a personal investment in that stone and seeing it perched at the summit of that hill. Respectively his heart breaks each night when it hurdles back down to the valley. What we have here is an indoctrination. He is not bound to that stone any more than we are bound to our children's well being. Atlas can put the world down any time he likes.
"The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy." - Albert Camus 'The Myth Of Sisyphus'
