Question: 20th-century French novelist/philosopher Albert Camus's essay, 'The Myth of Sisyphus' (1942) concerns the 'absurdity' of human existence -- what he deems the futile human quest for meaning in an incomprehensible, godless, often hostile universe, lacking permanent value and truth; for him, the ancient-Greek myth of Sisyphus exemplifies the human condition: arduous, endless toil without lasting meaning. However, since Sisyphus is consciously aware of his fate, Camus implies that he conquers it and can actually be considered "happy."

For the discussion determine if you agree or disagree with Camus' argument that even if our existence is without lasting meaning humans can still achieve Sisyphus's happiness; offer examples. to support your view
