Yes, I know it was his punishment. But he later comes to accept his fate and DECIDES to push the boulder up the hill everyday. It's just a made up story anyway I'm sure people heard other versions hence the downvotes.

    Thats not rly deciding tho is it? Bc he was never the one to start pushing the boulder of his own volition, he was made to do it. N the fact that he may have accepted his fate eventually doesn't change that. Also dont worry abt the downvotes :3 it happens sometimes 🫂

    You can always decide, that's the point of the story, or so I thought. That even if something is forced upon you (like laundry or having to work or eat, etc) that you can still make a choice to do that thing. It helps give you a feeling of control, even if it might seem small and unimportant it could make a big difference. Maybe I'm just projecting lol

    I think reframing a situation can be a healthy coping mechanism :3 but it's also fine to acknowledge that it wasnt u who got urself into that situation to begin with. What u focus on in the end prolly comes down to whether ur a more problem or solution oriented person :D Ig im just a bit more problem oriented lol
