"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem." — Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus, 1942

Albert Camus said there is only one serious philosophical question: whether life is worth living. Everything else is commentary.

In 1942, in Nazi-occupied France, Camus published a forty-page essay called The Myth of Sisyphus. He called the human situation absurd — not silly, but out of harmony. You are a creature that needs meaning, looking at a universe that does not provide any.

Most people never face this directly. They take comfort in a god, in a cause, in a career, in not thinking about it. Camus called this "the leap." He refused it. He would not pretend the universe had meaning he could not see. And he would not stop trying.

His answer was Sisyphus — the Greek myth of the man condemned to push a boulder up a hill forever, watching it roll back down each time, only to push it up again. Camus said: imagine Sisyphus happy. Not because the rolling is meaningful. But because Sisyphus has refused to lie about it. And he keeps pushing anyway.

The universe does not owe you a reason. What it owes you is the chance to push your own rock — fully aware that the hill has no top, and to do it well.

💬 That, Camus said, was enough.
