And a careful observation proved that the saying is right. What has happened before is possible to happen again, and it is possible to either fall victim or escape depending on how knowledgeable we are about it.
A thing is bound to happen over and over if it has occurred already. Once there is an already existing ground, the possibility for its occurrence is high.
For instance, traders believe that once the price is able to reach a particular level, and it falls terribly, it is only a matter of time before the price will test that level again and again before it either falls or goes beyond.
One history I have observed over the years that has occurred a couple of times is war.
I grew up and heard about world wars. The first they said took place between 1914 to 1918 and World War II happened between 1939 to 1945.
I know a few things that ignite war; greed, disagreement, selfishness, revolt, and so on. Whenever you see these things on display, war is close by.
Some people believe that war changes things, some say it brings revolution, it brings development, it brings freedom, social reforms, and so on.
I don't know much about wars but can we check the bad side too? Death, destruction, hate, economic setback, human displacement, and potential war occurrence.
I have never been on the battlefield before but I think the sight is not something anyone would wish for.
The disadvantages of war outweigh the advantages. And one thing most people don't know is that war doesn't have an end. It's difficult to let go when you feel cheated.
We can start up a momentary peace and act as if all is alright but that is only a strategy to watch out for weak moments to take vengeance.
Speculations have been going on about World War III occurring for quite some time and seriously, if you look around, you would see the symptoms lurking.
It is gradually approaching our door steps but we don't seem to be concerned about it. Some years back Russia and Ukraine started like a joke and it almost resulted in something global, thanks to God it is gradually going down.
Then recently Israel and Iraq picked up and it is going very hot. Quiet interventions and support are going on behind the scenes from other countries to keep the war going and I am already scared.
This thing looks like it's just Iraq and Israel but behind the scenes, there is more. To be honest, i was scared when i heard that US destroyed three Iranian nuclear sites. Well, thank God for the ceasefire that is going on currently. I hope it brings everlasting peace and ends the war.
If you look around you would see different things happening, countries breaking alliances, threatening each other, and accusing each other for things only they know.
Seeing all these, I wonder what is going on. Must everything be settled through violence? Have we not seen enough death? Have we not seen enough of the destruction? Can't we resolve things using other methods?
Well, I think we still have hope, but the choice is ours, we can start learning how to accommodate each other and how to make peace in a friendly way and avoid all these killings and destruction, or fold our arms and watch things go worse.
The world power can also intervene by coming in to resolve issues that have the ability to escalate into something terrible.
This is not about us alone, Do we want to bring our children into the world to experience this tribulation too? If not for our sakes, for the sake of the next generation, these things ought to stop.
I bet you if we don't settle these things now, this war will continue, and our innocent children will come and continue from where we stopped.
We may think these country wars are casual until it results in something global, which no one prays for but it will surely occur, if we don't find a means to settle it, even if it doesn't happen in our day, it may happen in the day of our children. I just hope we understand this early and start doing something about it.
