What's your opinion on the idea of, Everything today is a repetition of something that occurred earlier?

I agree with that for the most part. As most human behaviors have already occurred and history just repeats itself. Although, as you probably know, when things happen that have never happened before, i.e, 9/11, Obama, Tiger Woods (his legend as a golfer--not a womanizer), then the world recognizes the event as wonderful, fantastic, and truly amazing.
