The Myth of Sisyphus
Rolling a big boulder up a hill, Sisyphus succeeds after an arduous effort to reach the summit, and even before he could pause to catch his breath, he watches the boulder slowly slip away and fall back down from where he had started. And he begins his tortuous task once more. Condemned by the gods to repeat this never-ending punishment, he toils forever without respite, without let-up, without hope of ever seeing a glimpse of the end of his travails.
Papoy feels the same way as he watches each day that comes with a promise of change, and as he works hard to transform that promise into hard reality, he never dreams nor anticipates what disappointment and failure awaits him, and as he reaches what he deems to be the summit and the end of his journey, he sees it all crumble and fall away. It is very inviting to just give up and give in to the relentless forces that drives him hard against the tempest that is his life as he watches his puny attempts against such powers fail at every turn.
When will it all end, he wonders and rises up from every fall. Lucky for me, he thinks, I am stupid and cannot understand defeat. He gets up and cooks up another scheme to get his life going once more. He does not understand defeat and each loss is a sweet reminder of that final victory when he shall celebrate all his moments as his reward for being.
