Misery loves misery. Why do think stupid people make the same mistakes over and over and over again though they know that the outcome will always be the same?

You can't.... you use what you know about the past and change the future. Don't be wishful that something could have happened differently. If it had, you wouldn't be who you are today.

It doesn't.  It is important to study the past so we can learn from the collective experience of the human race.  That way we can avoid repeating mistakes, and try to repeat sucessful choices.

Who was it that said something like "You can feed a man a fish and that would take away his hunger for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, he can feed himself for a lifetime." The problem can't be solved by moving people between point A to B, but rather by teaching them how to help themselves through education....
