“One must imagine Sisyphus happy” -Albert Camus
This is not the first time the philosopher Albert Camus has been mentioned in these electronic pages, nor will be it the last, because that’s what you sign up for when you sign up for Mariners fandom and Lookout Landing, baby: a lot of depressing philosophy. Personally I will admit I’ve never much trucked with Camus and the existentialists in general, but there’s something appealing about the idea of accepting absurdity as a way to cope with a difficult situation; something gleefully rebellious, even, about imagining Sisyphus, cursed to roll a boulder up a hill for all eternity, having the audacity to enjoy the task.
