When the Past Repeats: What History Teaches Us About Today

History is not a bin of dates, names, and isolated events; it is a never-ending continuum, woven with commonalities of human nature repeating itself from age to age and culture to culture. Civilizations have risen to greatness, produced systems of order and predictability, and then—repeatedly—declined or destroyed themselves into oblivion. These trends are not merely buried in the past but lessons available for reflection, and worth considering for future generations capable of learning and living them.
