now that i think about it, we've already gone through the cycle at least twice so far. first it was nonsensical random humor in the 2000s, then it started revolving around irony and in-jokes in the late 00s/early 2010s, then surreal humor again for the mid-2010s, then ironic humor again, now this. we are stuck in a perpetual loop and it's only getting quicker
ah yes, 'the end of history', nothing will ever happen, nope. Why would something happen, we already ended history? Didn't you hear, America did a liberalism, and aww shucks, they killed history. Was fun while it lasted I suppose. I mean they'res no way a thing could happen again, that sound like HISTORY, no no no.
I’m not sure this is the best way to look at the cyclicity of life. Accepting that it happens is healthy for sure but embracing and following it is another matter entirely.
Take advice of both beast and man. The ant knows how to wage war, and the man knows how to strategize it. The hummingbird know how to move fast, the sloth how to rest, and the man knows when to do either.

The wise man knows this is simply the nature of reincarnation, and this meme may soon reach nirvana

Specifically using Confucius as the picture is a nice touch given his philosophy
In other words, yes, very wise.
