"الذين لا يعرفون التاريخ محكوم عليهم بتكراره"
— Edmund Burke
Simplified Meaning:
When people don’t learn about past mistakes, they are likely to make the same mistakes again. For example, if we don’t study how certain societies fell into war because of poor decisions, we might make similar bad decisions today and end up in conflict again. Think about touching a hot stove. If you didn’t learn from the first time you got burned, you might touch it again and burn yourself once more. This idea helps us understand why it’s important to study history. By knowing what happened before, we can make better choices and avoid problems that others have already faced. So, to make smarter decisions and avoid repeating old errors, we need to pay attention to history.
