"历史是一个轮子，因为人性的本质是根本不变的。"
— George R.R. Martin
Simplified Meaning:
People tend to act the same way over time, which means events in history often repeat in similar patterns. Imagine a wheel spinning around; it keeps coming back to the same spot. This is like human behavior. For example, throughout history, there have been many wars started over power, land, or resources. Even though the people and places change, the reasons and outcomes are often quite similar. This idea can help us understand that simply knowing what happened in the past can help us prepare for or even prevent similar events today. If we see that certain actions led to problems before, we can avoid making the same mistakes. So, by studying history, we can learn from previous successes and failures to make better decisions and create a better future.
