A crummy commercial?!
Weird taco bell commercial but it’s nice that they get the idea behind the quote correct. People usually use it incorrectly (I’ve always thought because how the usage of the word imagine has changed over time) but whether or not one agrees with the sentiment that
This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
it makes more sense as intended than it does as a throwaway joke at the end of a long essay.
People usually use it incorrectly
How do they usually use it? This meme is how I’ve always understood this quote
That Sisyphus is unhappy with the meaningless of his world. Usually to indicate they find their task/situation Sisyphean.
