[00:00:00]The gods cursed Sisyphus to push a boulder up a mountain. [music] Every time he reached the top, he the boulder rolls back down. He walks down after it.

[00:00:09]He pushes again, forever. The worst [music] punishment they could imagine, meaningless eternal labor. But the philosopher Albert Camus saw something they missed. What about the walk down?

[00:00:20]>> [music] >> That moment after the boulder falls.

[00:00:24]The brief moment of rest.

[00:00:27]The path back [music] to the rock.

[00:00:29]Sisyphus is free in that moment. The gods can't touch him. [music] And Camus realized, the rock doesn't matter.

[00:00:36]The mountain doesn't matter. What matters is what [music] Sisyphus does inside his own mind on that walk down.

[00:00:42]He can curse the gods or he can smile.

[00:00:45]The struggle itself is enough to fill a man's [music] heart. One must imagine Sisyphus is happy. Your rock is your job, your routine, your endless tasks.

[00:00:55]But the walk between them are still yours. [music]
