MacBeth act 5 scene 5, "flurry of activity signifying nothing". Shakespeare didn't know scientifically why that was so true, but it was obvious. Everything dies.
Here is how you can counter that. Ask them if they have gone to a movie, concert or sporting event. They will say yes. Ask them if they would not go because they know those things end? Of course they would still go.
VERY well said!!
