The stupidest thing a person can do is to make the same mistakes over and over again. But people are that stupid, they know it, want it, cant help it. Its like looking into a bottomless pit and wondering at its mysterious depth and you decide to jump down to ease your curiosity. You end up falling through air and hitting the ground hard. You managed to crawl your way up again after some difficulty and decide never to explore that stupid pit again. But after a while, you find yourself staring down at the same pit with the mysterious depth and you yearn to jump down it again and see if there's anything new. And so you jump and end up falling the same way down and crawling your way up again. And it happens again and again. Like those silly little lemmings you see in your computer game. Or like the moth that draws too often, and too near the fire.
