"الشيء الوحيد الذي نتعلمه من التاريخ هو أننا لا نتعلم شيئًا من التاريخ."
Simplified meaning
Often, people make the same mistakes over and over because they don't pay attention to what has happened in the past. Imagine if every student in school forgot the lessons they were taught each year. They would end up repeating the same grade again and again, never moving forward. This is what happens with history and humanity. For example, wars have been fought for similar reasons throughout different times, like power or resources, but many of the same problems and conflicts keep happening because people don't learn from past wars. If we looked at history and understood why these wars started, we could work to avoid them in the future. By learning and remembering the lessons from history, we can make better decisions and create a more peaceful, fair world.
