"a society that forgets its past is doomed to repeat it."

then why do we, as humans, continuously repeat our past willingly? knowing very well it will put us right back where we were. we're full of nostalgia and regret. remorse towards those we have manipulated. remorse for the wrongdoings we've faced within our lives. remorse for the loss of loved ones. all they left behind were memories and material items. all they left behind were blank pages we were forced to fill on our own.

so again, I ask, why is it that the only thing we are consistent with is our thirst for guilt and pain? we receive pleasure from the pain. whether it's radiating off of ourselves or the small corner store we all voted to demolish, it never goes away. we feed off of self-inflicted hate and destruction. the longevity of this tragedy is by far the most morally depraved I have ever witnessed and experienced. although not quite as corrupt as our social and economical atmosphere.

perpetual bliss in this day and age is derived from a series of events leading to death and definition. a dictionary is the most powerful tool known to man. explanations are a must in our everyday lives. why do we insist on subsiding into the caves of the past?
