History Repeats Itself

I'm not sure whether I'm just skeptical, unforgiving, or both. But apparently this famous essayist and publisher, Norman Cousins, agrees with me. "History is a vast early warning system."

History repeats itself. Different years and different zip codes, but same stories.

This applies to people also. People live in patterns. Why do you think our religion is based around a book that tells the story of the pride cycle? (Then tells it again and again and again...)

You don't have to learn the hard way... AGAIN. Learn from past mistakes.

P.S. Don't sleep over at boy's houses!!!

I would like to take back what I said about sleeping over at boy's houses. I mean, it's still a bad idea, but I have to take it back so I'm not a hypocrite.
