Does history repeat itself? Or is it that human beings are similar?

I read somewhere that history will repeat itself until we break out of it. Unless we manage to break out of it, the same thing will come to us again and again. The bully will always bully the same few people again and again until they stand up for themselves. The same situation always happens, be it in our relationship with friends, love ones, family etc. For example, some people always attracts the wrong kind of friends etc etc...

Perhaps the first thing is not to victimise ourselves. Don't ever thing and allow yourself to feel victimised. Study the problem and solve it. We can't change others, but we can change ourselves. And in the process of changing ourselves, we change the way to respond to it and the whole situation.

Many fights are started with one person hurling abusive words at the other. The other will respond to it with a more abusive words and eventually, it escalates to a fight. But if the first person hurl angry words at the other and the other person smile and walk away, a lot of fights can be avoided. I remembered my sis once told me that sometimes she feels like quarreling with my bro in law but it never happens cos my bro in law just diffuse it by not retorting her at that moment. One hand just can't clap.
