Where are you? How can I check up on my friends if they refuse to post their exploits online? *wink* Put my back out at work. Ick. Have to get MD permission to come back, i guess.
I'm sorry to hear about the back. I've found for me that my back going out coincides with high stress. I don't know if that is similar for you. But, I can imagine that with the balls you have in the air it may well. Exercise of course helps reduce stress, but, coming off a back injury makes both exercise and stress reduction tough. Swimming, although it seems to take twice as long is a good alternative in this instance.
In the essay, Camus introduces his philosophy of the absurd: man's futile search for meaning, unity and clarity in the face of an unintelligible world devoid of God and eternity. Does the realization of the absurd require suicide? Camus answers: "No. It requires revolt." He then outlines several approaches to the absurd life. The final chapter compares the absurdity of man's life with the situation of Sisyphus, a figure of Greek mythology who was condemned to repeat forever the same meaningless task of pushing a rock up a mountain, only to see it roll down again. The essay concludes, "The struggle itself...is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
