a-steamy-roll: This explains so much about the grindset Kind of? But kind of not. At least not in the way you’re maybe thinking. When Camus says to picture him happy, we’ve gotta assume it’s for more than just the split second at the top before the boulder crashes down again and he’s got to reroll. In life Sisyphus was very on-the-grind, like his mind was constantly in overdrive, right? He outsmarted Zeus, cheated death twice, he was never not on it. But no amount of forethought or tricksy business is going to effect the rock—the task is immune to thought. It’s just gonna roll. Which means for the first since his death, he can use his mind freely for leisure, not gain, and quiet all the noisy, busy thoughts. Add to that the certainty and predictability of his task, and a lot of anxiety goes out the window. Nothing spectacular is going to happen, sure, but nothing horrid is either. It’s just a level field of rock roll all day every day. He’s got complete knowledge of his own fate. I’d kill for that kind of certainty! And the afterlife is endless. There’s no pressure—he literally can’t fail because his success isn’t defined by completion—it’s doing the thing at all. If he’s pushing, he’s winning. Idk. Maybe I’m nuts but a task that leaves you free to contemplate, lets you go at your own pace so long as you’re doing it and which you literally can’t fail at just doesn’t equate to grind culture to me‍♀️ -- source link
