A reaction:
This might apply to more traditional concepts of truth, if they are to be part of life, rather than remaining in books.

Life is a repetition when what has been now becomes

When one says that life is a repetition one affirms that existence which has been now becomes.

Søren Kierkegaard (Repetition [1843], p.49), quoted by Clare Carlisle - Kierkegaard: a guide for the perplexed 4

A reaction:
Not sure I understand this, but it seems very close to Nietzsche's Eternal Recurrence.
