We often hear people saying “History always repeats itself “. But this question does haunt me but why, why our past, our history tends to always repeat? And sometimes even in a more disastrous way. Have you also thought about this? Is it earth’s way or human’s own ignorance be the reason, leading to so much devastation which may have been prevented or is it unsatisfaction or very high ambitions of few, but I would again say, Earth will survive, she had survived in past too sometimes in conditions you would ever think of, it will be in future too, but we humans might not or we might evolve, or might be replaced by some other organism, we don’t know anything and future is always uncertain and its survival of fittest, after all, we also have replaced the mighty dinosaurs, etc once ruling the earth, some completely lost existence, some evolved, few which remain, we humans have killed them gradually.
Ok, coming back to what happened in the past, you all have heard of Spanish flu, Bubonic plague outbreak, a cholera outbreak and most in recent in past influenza or swine flu, and if I say, at that time, they caused so much loss of lives, you would even imagine, current COVID 19 is still very far from it, but again we can’t say anything about future. My matter of concern is Have we learned anything from the past. Do you also want to be remembered in history, as we remember them, not successful in controlling it efficiently and not learning from the mistakes? Some might now say, that time medical science was not that developed, superstition was there, people were not that educated that much, lack of awareness, etc, I agree with you totally. But answer me, are most of the people not superstitious today also, and to the much, of it how this all and fake news spread on social media at the speed of light, cause more havoc, don’t you think so, everybody, some with zero knowledge about the subject, gives the valuable advice and opinions.
Every one of you is also aware of the world wars, we all have read about them during history classes. After the 1st World war, people had said, this kind of war would not occur again but what happened in the next 4 years, World war 2, more destructive even than 1, more than one-third population on earth vanished, yes, there were reasons why it happened but, are these first time, no not at all, before that too, few over-ambitious beings existed, conquering the whole earth, few even every cruel. I always fail to understand, ok, you conquered the whole world, become sole leader, what’s next, attacking another planet, as you will never be satisfied after all. To our more dismay, history might gonna repeat itself again, as we are on verge of another war, don’t know, how much destruction it will lead too, hoping it will not occur.
I don’t know, they are authentic or not but I have watched many videos and documentaries on time travel, I do believe we will do this in future, but there were few people who claimed to have traveled from future, defining so many things and advancement of future but if this is true, why they did not make us aware of this pandemic or future has been altered or they traveled from an alternate reality if existed or its all fake if they would have, things might be different after all.
There is so much negativity and unrest around, that it does become difficult to calm and a lot of questions arises in our minds, we still searching answers for, but it is sure if we don’t learn from our history or past, it will keep on repeating, its an infinite loop which will never end, we don’t even know its beginning, so forget about the ending I guess. We, humans, are just a small part of this mysterious universe, with the most uncertain future. These virus, bacteria, microorganisms etc and our earth will exist than also.
It is long read, I don’t know you will agree with me or not, I just wrote it down, do share with me what you think in the comment section below.

I agree… I do believe those who forget their past, are condemned to repeat it.
Life gives you lessons – just like school… if you remember your lessons – you can pass your tests.
1918 happened when there was no technology – so you didn’t have the record like we will with this one… this one made a huge impact – and because of technology… information will be easier. It hopefully will not be forgotten this time.
Also… when the world starts to overpopulate … maybe nature takes over and corrects that? I don’t like that thought, but it has crossed my mind.
I would love to believe someday time travel be possible. I love time travel stories!!
As far as, time travel warning us… well sometimes lessons do need to be learned.
We are smarter now … hopefully… we will remember what happened so if anything like this happens again in our lifetime – we hopefully handle it better and are smarter. 🙏
I have found sometimes in my own life… an event that may not be good, ends up being a lesson… I feel like some was meant to happen to make me learn. Bring me outside my comfort.
We get so comfortable in our lives – but we really need to pay attention, or life will provide those lessons for us. ✌️
Good post – it resonates with people ✌️

I loved reading this and the repetition of history will be great only if the good things repeat and I believe the very reason of knowing and learning history is to not repeat those mistakes again which all of us kind of achieved in terms of small pox, cholera and stuff but just created new mistakes by giving birth to new viruses LOL. But doctors across the world did predict the birth of new diseases and viruses and are constantly carrying out researches on bats in China…To know more on this watch Pandemic series on Netflix. It’s very helpful…And thankyou Era for actually thinking to bring up something like this and your thoughts on this are great and like I said I loved and enjoyed reading this…Much love Era:)

Yup, agree with you, we should learn from our history and past, but sometimes we forget that
Yes, cholera and smallpox, polio, etc, there are many diseases which are being controlled and a lot of research is going on and new development is coming up, I do read about it a lot, a being maybe my interest and owing to my profession too
But when I see people not taking precautions and what we read about viruses and mutations, it does make me think of the questions
Oh , Thank you for suggesting about the series

I agree with you totally. History is to learned from. We might just try to prepared ourselves from biological warfares or these invisible enemies, we can’t ever be fully prepare. This is because these organisms are evolving at higher rate than we think. Nature has its own way to cleanse itself and it’s doing the same. We need to just save ourselves from this. Remember survival of the fittest. Theories of evolution still work. Don’t think too much…. Earth will definitely survive but humans cannot. This is tha law of nature and we might extinct one day as dinosaurs did.
