    Image Transcription:

    A drawing of two men, sitting in a library room. The younger-looking man is sitting in a wooden chair and reading a book, while the older-looking man is sitting in an armchair, a tea cup and open book on the small, round coffee table beside him. The older man is saying: ‘“Those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it. Yet those who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it.”’

    It’s recently brought to my attention that most of history is repeated, even though many people especially those in power are versed in it. That it seems like we need to fundamentally change the way we see and pass on history in order to actually learn anything from it.

      No one thinks they are like the last one. They are so arrogant they think that their motivation is different.
