In the last chapter, Camus outlines the legend of Sisyphus who defied the gods and put Death in chains so that no human needed to die. When Death was eventually liberated and it came time for Sisyphus himself to die, he concocted a deceit which let him escape from the underworld. Finally captured, the gods decided on his punishment: for all eternity, he would have to push a rock up a mountain; on the top, the rock rolls down again and Sisyphus has to start over. Camus sees Sisyphus, who lives life to the fullest, hates death and is condemned to a meaningless task, as the absurd hero.
Camus presents Sisyphus's ceaseless and pointless toil as a metaphor for modern lives spent working at futile jobs in factories and offices. "The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious."

Camus is interested in Sisyphus' thoughts when marching down the mountain, to start anew. This is the tragic moment, when the hero becomes conscious of his wretched condition. He does not have hope, but "[t]here is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn." Acknowledging the truth will conquer it; Sisyphus, just like the absurd man, keeps pushing. Camus argues that Sisyphus is truly happy precisely because the futility of his task is beyond doubt: the certainty of Sisyphus' fate frees him to recognize the absurdity of his plight and to carry out his actions with contented acceptance, which Camus argues to be a form of true happiness

I think pissing on the cat would be the best option

The juxtaposition of these two posts right after each other is a strangely perfect metaphor for the cacophony of modern day life.

lol.

wtf, are you telling me kids shouldn't play in sandboxes? That's lke saying they shouldn't be allowed to play outside.
another wtf, are you saying that MY kids in MY yard should have to play in shit because you can't keep your worthless cat under control?

I'm guessing if you keep that attitude, one day your little kitty isn't going to make it home. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

You are the idiot if you think being able to play outside and being able to play in a sandbox are close enough for comparison.Dogs shit on sidewalks, and in your lawn.Are you going to shoot every dog that does that?

They can play outside all the **** they want.But don't ever expect a sandbox to be clean.I'm sure there are more things in there you'll want to worry about other than cat shit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

BTW: My kitty doesn't go outside //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Yeah, you guys are ****ing hardcore, you abuse animals //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

If you want to talk about disgusting, video tape a day in your kids lives.Like I said, there's MANY more things you should be worrying about, instead of cat crap.

And you know what would be funny, if his dog drank it instead //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif (given he has a dog) Yes, real smart idea.You're a ****ing genious.

IF it bothers you THAT ****ing much, don't torture it.Call animal control.

And before mattf gets his panties in a twist again.Your kids SHOULD be able to play wherever the **** they want (if it's a highway so be it), BUT that's not the way the world works.

The cat is just going by it's natural instincts to crap in that sandbox. That's no reason to KILL it, torture it, etc.

And no I'm not a peta ***.I just don't think it's right to go around killing peoples pets because you have dusty pawprints on your car, or a couple pieces of crap in your sandbox.

Wow, I always used to think you were one of the smarter members of this forum.

I don't want random peoples dogs crapping in my yard either. and yes, if there is a dog in my yard, I "help" it learn not to come back again. You seem to be defending the people that can't handle the responsibility of owning a pet. If I don't want your animal in my yard, you should keep it out. If you can't do that maybe you shouldn't have a pet.

It really is a simple concept and it seems to be going right over your head.

Yea the handle on top is great for tying off the rope so you can retreive the cage/cat after heaving it into a pond and letting it sit for a while.

one of the funniest posts in this thread i think.

There is a difference between playing on a public highway and my own private back yard. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

And you don't think its right to stop a animal from coming on to your property, and I don't think its right to let your pet have free roam of the neighborhood. I'm guessing thats about as far as this discussion is going to get.

I actually see what you're saying.But here's a thought for you. Why should the animal (whatever it may be, cat, dog, bird, a ****ing iguana) have to pay for the mistakes of an ignorant owner ? It shouldn't.

If anything, you should be trying to shoot the owners.If that cat doesn't get along with the one inside, they need to get rid of one of them.Simple as that.

I apologize for some of my posts, but I just think it's wrong to torture animals because they follow instincts, and their owners are not responsible enough to take care of them. I don't like finding shit in my yard, or the garden.But it happens.I'm not going to piss on the animal, or run it over if it does it.Worst I'll do it chase it away.

Yeah, but heres the thing. Though a childs day may be disgusting, there are a few things that can be controlled. Germs are everywhere and cant really be stopped... but exposure to them from some things can be made a bit less harmful. For instance, keep cats out of the sandbox, and theres one less thing you gotta worry about. I hate annoying cats. I like cats, but obnoxious ones deserve to be chased with a stick.

And if the owners refuse to do anything, then shooting it with something nonlethal shouldnt be too bad. If the owners wont teach it right and wrong, i sure as hell will.

If the owners truly don't care, then it'd be best to call animal control and report it as a stray.Then it has a chance of being put up for adoption and loved by someone who knows how to take care of an animal.

Because the current owners are incapable of controlling a cat, does not justify shooting it with a bb gun or pissing on it.
