What is the view that history repeats itself?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Only stupidity repeats; when intelligence and awareness arise, the cycles of history dissolve into the freshness of life."
According to Osho, the notion that 'history repeats itself' reflects human stupidity: only stupidity repeats. Life in its essence is fresh, but our unconscious patterns and collective folly create recurring historical cycles. When intelligence and awareness arise, repetition ends. Thus, history’s loops are not destiny but the byproduct of unexamined, foolish behavior.
