give yourself a rock to push up the mountain
I find myself here, with not much to do and no complaints whatsoever.
So I start to think on giving myself a goal, like 'a rock to push up the mountain.'
(The analogy is a reference to the Greek legend of Sisyphus, who is condemned by the gods for eternity to repeatedly roll a boulder up a hill only to have it roll down again once he got it to the top, as a metaphor for the individual's persistent struggle against the essential absurdity of life.)
The goal may be daunting but I'd rather have the goal.
Life is good.
peace,
Mark

hmmmmmmm. . . have i heard a joke about this?
why did the nutjob push the boulder up the mountain?
because it was there.
or was that, "mountain climber?"
I crack nuts at the top of the mountain for a snack.
Lol
I remember him, he was punished by Zues, I always liked Greek mythology & Norse mythology. Well I like all mythology & folklore, I always find that stuff interesting. Last artwork I did Greek mythology related was a drawing of wood nymph Echo sitting on a Narcissus flower. Sorry I’m really rambling here.
Maybe some days you can kick a big cotton ball up the hill instead of a heavy boulder :)
Big hug <3
