"Like Sisyphus, we are all on a journey that leads to a sense of futility and depression. No matter how hard we try to achieve our goals, we will never manage to roll the rock to the other side of the mountain. Our failure means that here we will never find peace, salvation, or love; we will never find our home (...) Sisyphus is a figure from Greek mythology. He was condemned by the gods to push a rock up a mountain, only to have it roll back down when he neared the top, forcing Sisyphus to start his efforts all over again" (Kenneth Wapnick).
I believe that as we push the rock uphill (living in this world), we can feel that there is another way of seeing the path, through the eyes of Love, through true forgiveness. And that is precisely the way out of this cycle of reincarnation and suffering.
Sisyphus, who is ultimately all of us, has the opportunity to be happy here and now, even when we have to push the rock up the mountain, if we are able to change our perception.
