Myth of Sisyphus

             Sisyphus is shown as a heroic being whose only reason for being is to
             push a rock up a hill forever. He rises above despair and reasons that pushing
             the rock is a noble activity. He does what he is supposed to and is satisfied
             with being a rock pusher for then. That moment, Sisypus is satisfied with
             being a rock pusher, as well as the next moment. The moments are not
             stringed together however, resulting in Sisypus only living in the current
             moment. He needs to do this because otherwise all life is pointless because it
             will all end the same no matter what you do. The doctor, the teacher, the
             police officer, and the homeless man all end up the same in the end, and
             Sisyphus will still be pushing that rock. He must live in the present or else he
             will hate every moment of pain and hardship he endures and he will be doing
             it all for nothing, which would result in an eternity of pain instead of eternity
             of hope. That is why he must live in the present.
