First before proceeding further, let me ask you. Do you agree with above statement?If no, then look at the history of wars from Ramayan, Mahabharat to second world war, rise and fall of empires, love and hate stories, crimes and heroic deeds. Nothing changes: same patterens, same reasons and same consequences.
Convinced ? OK Let us now find the reason.
With the power of ingenuity and scientific analysis, man has tried to solve the mystery of nature, built many sciences, explored vast universe and on the minute scale electrons, nature of matter and energy. The only principle which guided him in this pursuit is unfalliable cause and effect relationship. He understood that for every event in nature there is a necessary and suffient cause and nothing occurs without cause. The earlier false beliefs of acts of god soon withered away and paving way to development of science on strong footing of cause-effect phenomenon.
However, ironically man fails to conceive that same rule applies also to every enent and behaviour in every aspect of life. Thie reason for this situation, in my opinion, is that man is so much engrossed in planning for future that he has no time to search history and learn from it. Probabaly he thinks that the situations are changed and old examples will not be appicable to current situation.
He is totally wrong. History stores wealth of knowledge for handling events of all times with predictable outcomes. His failure to learn from history and mold the future differently is the reason why history repeats itself.
