"التاريخ يعيد نفسه أولا كمأساة وثانيا كمهزلة"
— Karl Marx
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes events in history happen again but in a different way. The first time, these events can be very serious and cause a lot of pain or problems. For example, a war causing many people to suffer. When something similar happens again, it might seem almost like a joke or a silly version of the first event. Picture a smaller argument in a town that doesn't have serious effects. This quote suggests that we often don't learn from our past mistakes. Instead of preventing the same issues, we sometimes let them happen again without taking them seriously. We can apply this by trying to learn from our past and take warnings seriously so that we don’t repeat painful lessons. If we notice similar problems happening again, we should address them properly to avoid turning them into a bigger issue or making light of them.
