History finds a way of repeating itself

"Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do study history are doomed to watch as it happens anyway"

I’m Mr. Careless I can’t stop touching my fucking face and it’s annoying like I can’t be out here in public scratching my itchy nose but like here I am.

History repeats itself because we make it repeat. When a new generation is born we think that we are the step forward and the prior generation is wrong, not realizing that it is the same problem in a new color. We're always thinking that no matter what others think that we are right. Does that mean that our elders are always right, no. However neglecting their experiences to please our hubris is also not the solution.
