Is History Meaningless?
¥"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more:  it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" – the title character in Shakespeare's MacBeth 5.5.17.
¥The Bible has a different take on this matter, and it claims to be from the One who knows.
