Hello John, How prophetic and powerful. Can we ever learn from the past and not repeat it in the future. It seems there are some things like war and violence that we cannot learn. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

History repeating itself. Not a problem as long as it's not wars and plagues.
