The world grinds Sisyphus down and his shoulders quake with the weight while his heels sink centimeter by centimeter into the loam, but because it is a steady job that won’t be undone the moment success seems in sight, it feels to him like a chance to rest. Atlas watches a stone careen back down an incline again and again, but it’s not like anyone’s counting on him for this, and the world’s not going to end if he fails at a goal which was never designed to be achievable, and he gets to stretch his muscles in new and exciting ways.
