Oh it has to be Sisyphus and his rock! It reminds me of the idea of "eternal recurrence" of Nietzsche. Sometimes, when I catch myself thinking about the future I ask myself " What would happen if I had to live this moment forever?" And then everything changes and you get to experience the smallest pleasures from the mundane.

This is such an interesting reframe! Chasing the future blinds us to the experience and presentness of what life offers us is in the here and now, however mundane it may be. Living the current moment forever presents its own challenges too...but also opens up to the subtle pleasures, as you say. Thanks for sharing!
