I stopped paying attention to the news and social media about a month ago, and started reading some history books. I though it would help my mental health. But i concluded, from the ancient civilizations to modern ones and all in between, no matter how much we advance, we humans keep stumbling on the same problems.
'Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it." Perhaps George Santayana, though also attributed to many others. And sadly the number one thing that history does teach, is the truth of that.
Yet we live in a world which claims to be highly advanced, but scorns history as never before.
