Sisyphus Sisyphus pushed the boulders down over the edge of the cliff. Thousands and thousands of boulders to go, he had worked at this task for thousands of years, or perhaps since before the beginning of time? It was his only purpose in life, his reason for existence. He pushed the boulders over the cliff with no regrets � it was what he had been created for. Millions of years and boulders later Sisyphus pushed the last one down. Stunned and astonished, he looked all around, all he could see was the bare ground. He sat down and thought for fifty years and finally came to a realization. �There�s nothing left to do,� he said, �now that I�ve pushed every boulder down. So if my life�s purpose is fulfilled, there�s nothing left to remain here for.� He breathed a sigh of finality and took a leap of faith. Back |
