The Myth of Sisyphus and Me

In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a king punished in the underworld by being set to roll a huge boulder up a hill throughout eternity. ---From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Believe me, I don't care or know much at all about Greek mythology. But if I understand the story correctly, Sisyphus is punished and has to roll a hugh boulder up a hill and just when he gets it to the top of the hill it ROLLS BACK DOWN THE HILL and he starts over again.

I was reminded of this myth this past week when I was in the backyard playing with my son. As our outside time was coming to a close, I started picking up various balls that were scattered over the yard. You guessed it, just as I completed retrieving the balls, my son would take the balls out of their storage container and scatter them over the yard again.
