I think it's awfully pessimistic to think the world can't change. It changes all the time. History stacks up, technology advances and society learns from past mistakes.
I mean, barely a few centuries ago, monarchy was the most common type of government.

But I don't think it's applicable to everything, Some accident's maybe exception.

This is a startling but well thought out point. The parallels between out current society and societies of the past show a cycle of how humans interact with each other. Is this because of sin? Do human societies rise and fall throughout history because of Satan's constant opposition to anything but human suffering? This is scary thought and one that seemingly has no easy answer.Sam Lauren wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 06:34 History absolutely repeats itself. We can see patterns in the growth of civilizations, especially ones with similar governments. If you look at the history of Ancient Rome, there are a lot of parallels to the United States. They also had a Republic. Elections grew increasingly expensive; politics became a path of wealth; as their economy depended more and more on other countries, the companies involved were able to sway policy makers for laws in their favor; there was a growing division between the rich and commoners, and right before the collapse of their republic they did away with the middle class. Their laws led them to having no middle class. Many economists says our middle class is dwindling too!

For example, the arrival of some the Messengers of God tended to happen in a similar pattern:
-After Adam and Eve (peace be upon them), generations passed until a point came when the people sanctified the pious and good people who died before them, taking them as deities and worshipping them alongside God. When the Messenger Noah was sent to them to teach them the truth, he stayed with them for 950 years, persevering even when he was shunned and turned away, until he finally despaired. All the believers who followed Noah were saved in the ark, and the others were punished in the flood.
-Generations passed and the people forgot the sins of their forefathers, until Hud (peace be upon him) came to guide the people. Those who believed were saved, and those who denied the truth perished in an earthquake.
However, if the same situation repeated until the end of time, we would live in an endless cycle. Change of the theme is essential for self preservation against others, like when David (peace be upon him) defeated Goliath, or Moses (peace be upon him) defeated Pharaoh.
History repeats itself when values and lessons are forgotten and people make past errors— I think the idea is to never forget.
