There are times when you feel like an island. You feel as if you are floating on an ocean, dark, deep, unfathomable, solitary and disjunct from everything else…And then you try to understand why you are floating in that ocean, what significance it has! Does it simply mean that you are an island or does it also mean that all human beings are islands! Why is it that you are still floating and have not drowned! What will happen if you drown, and cease to exist! Can you ever choose to drown? Do you float by choice?
Why Sisyphus? Why then push the heavy rock up the hill, climb and climb and climb only to let it roll down again even before you reach the peak?

some very intersting views about camus and sisyphus have been given by doris lessing, the 2007 nobel prize winner for literature. but taking the stone, the mountain and the labour to the sea is a interesting view in itself. even the vast sea is powerless in front of the human power structures and institutions of authority..... poor sisyphus, from the mountain, he is now at sea.....
...those who find this philosophy negative must also look at the moment when sisyphus is almost about to reach the cliff...there lies the glory of existence...
