Learning from the Elders

History tends to repeat itself. Those who do not learn from history duplicate it. Life is a journey of learning and growing, the faster we do this, the faster we mature and the less we make mistakes. Whatever happens in the past, whether ours or others, can be learned from so that we don’t make the same mistake and can avoid the resulting consequences. Rather than living in arrogance, assuming we will do better, we need to examine our lives to make sure that we do.
