same old, over and over

it really is fascinating how questions about existence, truth, justice, morality, gods, have bothered human beings for as long as anyone remembers. each of us are around for a few decades, during which, we repeat the same questions, learn about the same concepts, read the same classics, listen to the wise people of our respective eras, and hopefully die happier.

i'm reminded of leoben's quote, "all this has happened before, and all of it will happen again".
