I too associate myself only with my mind. My body is futile and ridiculed by everyone, starting with my parents. But my mind is free, it goes wherever I wish.
Maybe, try to vent your anger on this stupid world of hairless apes? My therapist used to say it helps. It may.

oh, yeah, my insinuation that a rock has desires was more of a joke. My genuine interpretation of Sisyphus is that you put in all your efforts over and over to move towards your goals, and there will forever be set backs--maybe caused by society, maybe not--but you just keep working on it. Over, and over.
I don't know. I don't have a "top of the hill" so I can't relate, but that's just what comes to mind when I think of it.
I don't really have anger. I mean, I do sometimes, maybe too intensely, but it doesn't really feel like even that's there when it's not all-consuming. Overall, it's just emptiness.
I do think of my mind of kind of a place to explore infinitely (and that's cool af), but that kind of roaming alone without direction can get dangerous.
