"History Repeats Itself"

The past, what we've done, the memories we've made, that's what's called history. Of course, not all of our history are in books; like the ones we learn. History on how a country got its independence, about world war, those are the kind of history that affects a large number of people, instead of just one. The mistakes that has been made, they're made again, over and over. We learn from it, we understand what to do when things like what and what happens, and most of the time, we avoid repeating history, but what do you know? It still repeats itself.

Like our personal lives, we made history, our own history, that's shared with no one, but ourselves (and the people that are in it). We, as humans, make mistakes. We find ways to get through the problems, and some time later, something quite similar comes again, and we make the same mistakes. Think about it, all that you've done, past boyfriends or crushes, questions in exams, whatever it is, you will repeat what you've done in the past. Or if it wasn't you who made the history, it could have been someone else. Someone in the past. Of course the repeated history is not exactly the same as the one that was made some time ago, but when you really, really think about it, it's just the same.

What I'm saying is, isn't it incredible? And yet, weird. Somehow, somewhere, sometime before, a person (or more) has been through what we're going through right now. Someone else has made our history, only with different people and in different time.

My friend once told me, that one of the signs of the end of the world is that, the newer the world, the more it reflects the old times. From thousands of years ago. Only in more modern ways. We might not see it with our eyes, it can only work in the mind. There are some things in this world that can't be explained, I guess this is one of them. Only Allah knows.
