| Descripción : | To the Editor: Alfonso Quijano, the main character of the novel Don Quijote de la Mancha, is a madman who pursues a goal all of his own that others think of as futile.1 Sisyphus, another hero of sorts, was condemned to the useless effort of eternally pushing a rock to the top of a hill only to see it roll down over and over again.2 In contrast, Bellerophon, grandson of Sisyphus, became famous for a more goaloriented and arguably more useful achievement; he hunted down and killed the Chimera (a frightful mythological monster whose body was composed of parts of several different animals).3 Albert Camus wrote that even the most apparently useless activity might instead be directed toward highlevel objectives that bear fruit in the long term and become a reason for inner satisfaction. |
