I Have Problem With History

History repeats itself I’m told Amateur historian I may be but I can stand on two legs and speak some facts in history. Natural forces can make history Natural forces can repeat history Man can make history Man can repeat history Divine hand can repeat history Divine hand can repeat history but I have a problem with history I am told by big minds that history repeats itself! can history create history? can history repeat history? Philosophers tell me today. I have a view- reject it, take it Not all human acts are historical human acts that form history as conceived and documented by the historian can be repeated by men the uneducable men who cannot learn lessons of history.
