This comic strip perfectly captures the universal struggle to keep up with rapidly evolving technology. The two robotic characters, seemingly perplexed by some technological conundrum, express the all-too-familiar sentiment of "I don't get it." This resonates with anyone who has ever felt bewildered by the latest software update, confusing user interface, or just the general pace of digital innovation. The strip humorously reminds us that even the most tech-savvy among us can occasionally find ourselves lost in a sea of circuits and code. It's a lighthearted acknowledgment that the ever-changing digital landscape remains a mystery to us all from time to time, and that's perfectly okay. After all, sometimes the "loose parts" in our own understanding are what make technology so endlessly intriguing.

In The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus suggests that we should imagine Sisyphus happy, but I don’t think happiness is necessary for his story to have meaning. Sisyphus is stuck in a cycle of endless struggle, and it’s quite possible that he’s not happy at all. But that doesn’t mean his life, or any life, lacks value or purpose. The expectation that we need to be happy all the time, especially in difficult or repetitive situations, feels unrealistic. Sometimes, life is just hard, and it’s enough to keep pushing forward without pretending everything is great.

Happiness isn’t the only measure of a worthwhile existence. Sisyphus continues his task, not because he’s happy, but because he has no other choice. And there’s something powerful in that persistence—accepting life as it is, even if it’s full of struggle or frustration. We don’t need to force happiness onto every situation. It’s okay to acknowledge that some things are tough or even pointless, but that doesn’t make them any less significant.

I think Sisyphus’s strength comes from continuing, even without happiness, and maybe that’s more valuable than happiness itself.
