I do not even remember asking you anything about this! (Maybe I said "how do you know Ragnarok didn't happen already?" I have a vague recollection of that)... Why is it always "something earlgreyhot said" with you? Doesn't anyone else every say anything? :P

That makes me feel old, thanks :P
Insofar as the cyclical nature of existence goes, I think that, considering our particular outlook, it's a given. We die here in Miðgarðr, we arrive in Valhöll, Fólkvangr or Hel, we live there, we get summoned to Ragnarökr (save those in Fólkvangr who are, I think, destined to be the guardians of the retreat to Gimlé) and die there. In Valhöll, warriors fight, are slain and rise again. It's not possible to avoid cycles in the cosmology we adhere to.
