Imagine Sisyphus happy

some jobs are full of meaning
some pay the bills
and some others like the myth of
Sisyphus have no meanings at all
like breaking stones in a prison
and yet, as Albert Camus said
you must imagine Sisyphus happy
that's wisdom
so imagine that the Dalton family
is happy to break stones in prison
and it gives no reasons for fleeing
it's in our nature to work and not being
happy
loafing like a cat in a rest house...

It all depends on where you are at in life. There comes a time when you are happy to be a loafing cat. Sisyphus is a metaphor for all our pointless struggles. But as you say, we work even though unhappy.
