It baffles me how e humans need the same lessons over and over again! Your one lie says it all! Happy Wednesday!!

Thank you Mike yes it is incredible how they repeat those lessons...

Until the lesson is learned the process of repeating continues, my friend. Bill

Yes, too tragically true Michael. Hindsight should be twenty-twenty, but some choose to wear blinders and not see.

Thank you Bj...

you are right Michael, I've done it, perhaps you have, and certainly know many many who certainly have repeated History, therefore Hindsight is not always 20/20, Hugs and blessings. jENNIFER.

I agree, we are like hamsters on a wheel pedaling as hard as we can always towards the same goal. Perhaps if we tried a different approach? we'd have better results. Your compassionate nature always comes through in everything you write, stay well my friend :)

History repeats itself and flows based on the generations. As memory fades events from the past can become events of the present.

Very true my friend. So sad for humanity Lasaad. Thank you for stopping by my friend...

History repeats itself in its themes and variations. Terse and to the point. Robert

Michael Tor
Date: 10/13/2022 11:25:00 PM

Thank you Robert it sure does and it is so sad that it does. You think with people having hindsight to see the mistakes of the past they would correct instead of repeat. So sad my friend. That is why we're where we are today with Russia and Ukraine. It is repeating itself...

Michael is right. We do…and we are the ones who elect jerks and blame them…as if we were some higher form of intelligentsia… roflmao. Pangie

Very true John, what does that say about us and humanity? Not all of us but the one's in power. Sad day for this world to realize this...

Some people just don't learn. Sad about what is going on in our world, but I think it is part of end only Putin doesn't know it. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my blog. Sara

Your welcome Sara. I appreciate your comment and I am still praying for you and your son. I can't believe how the big pharma are pricing their meds where he can't affor to buy them...

Close the door of the garden of Eden and you would think of co-operation and love. Read the history of the world and you'll find all the sins of mankind.

Very true Victor this world is heading in the wrong direction...

There's no denying the logic of of this clever verse. A sad commentary. Blessings.

Michael Tor

Your so right Evelyn it is a sad commentary but a true one. When will we learn...

Kim Rodrigues

You have to have common sense and morality to look at history. A sad case right now.

Very true Kim your words are so correct. Thanks for stopping by and your valued comment...

Speaking of 'Pete:' Pete and Repeat were in a boat. Pete fell out. Who was left... (Groan!)

My Daddy taught me this one when I was seven, and he’d ask all my friends the same thing. We”d ask him so many times to repeat it, even though we knew the answer. It was funny! Thanks GW. And thank you Michael. Man never learns from his mistakes, it seems. We are about to be swallowed by the CCP…but man does not learn, then the present leaders take NO responsibility? Why not blame the moon. Pangie
