Goku is Sisyphus, but with one crucial difference: he loves the mountain.
Like Sisyphus, he is never allowed to rest at the summit. Every victory only reveals a higher peak.
Defeat every enemy, and new threats emerge from the horizon. The boulder is always rolling back down the hill in the form of a stronger foe, a greater challenge, or another limit hidden within himself.
Yet Goku does not see this as a curse. He greets each obstacle with a smile. What would be torment for most people becomes a source of vitality for him. He has made peace with a truth few can bear: there is no final victory.
Goku embodies the secret that Camus saw in Sisyphus: meaning is not found at the top of the mountain but in the ascent itself. The summit is temporary; the climb is eternal.
Most men are crushed by the realization that every achievement fades and every triumph is swallowed by time. Goku is different.
He is Nietzscheโs Overman and does not seek escape. He embraces it.
@rexjonesnewz You need to mention Dragonball more on your show.
