All the world isn’t a stage. In fact, it’s more like a wheel.
And all the men and women aren’t merely players. We are hamsters;
The same ideas and the same attitudes coming playing and replaying, over and over. Sometimes with a little altered, sometimes not.
So much in this world is repeated and recycled. Shame it is not more of the stuff we need recycling.
