Camus argued that the struggle to live is itself enough to make life meaningful. Sisyphus was punished by the gods by being forced to continuously push a boulder uphill, only to watch it roll back down again. However, Camus suggests that even in this repetitive and seemingly futile task, Sisyphus could find happiness in the struggle, in the act of pushing the boulder itself. In other words, the meaning of life can be found in the struggle to live, rather than in any final end or outcome.
