HISTORY DOES NOT REPEAT ITSELF. THIS IS A SLOGAN USED BY FRAMEWORKS OF POWER.
Time, the human-made idea: we perceive an order of events. We can never repeat an event that has already happened. This creates a feeling of regret which we try to control through myths and other constructions in the form of reasons, ideas, opinions, or, possibly, routine. We can repeat or not repeat a similar action to an event - the outcome will never be the same. TIME IS SIMPLY THE EXPLANATION OF THE SPACE BETWEEN MOMENTS.
memory = what-is, the perception of the moment, mixed with memories of past perceptions to make a single memory that acts like a SNAPSHOT (the visual world), which is no longer real AND TAINTED BY OTHER SNAPSHOTS.
