Hi, I hope this topic wasn't there before, I don't have much time to be here, lately.
Something is just bothering me for a while, especially when listening to the news :(
They say, that if you don't remember bad parts in history, it will repeat itself.
(Well, at least it might, cause if you really don't remember it, you won't know if it repeated itself!)
But isn't this actually nonsense? It never happened, history keeps repeating itsself all over all the time! It even seems people get ideas from the 'bad' guys of the past and try to make it more perfect this time!
Or they just say it's irrelevant or it's different and you can't compare it etc.
But nevertheless this saying might be noble, but is untrue.
It never ever proofed right and it's impossible to prove it wrong.
Are humans unable/unwilling to learn or is it just our nature?
I'm just a bit frustrated by my species right now :(
