"این درست نیست که زندگی یک اتفاق لعنتی پشت سر دیگری است؛ بلکه یک اتفاق لعنتی بارها و بارها تکرار میشود"
Quote meaning
The quote speaks to a deep, almost cynical realization about life. It's not just a non-stop series of random events; it's repetitive. The same kinds of problems, joys, and experiences keep cycling through. Think of it like this: life isn't a novel with endless new chapters, it's more like a sitcom where the same themes and characters reappear, no matter how many seasons go by.
This idea of life being repetitive isn't new. It's been around in different forms for a while. Take, for example, the ancient Greek myth of Sisyphus. Sisyphus was doomed to push a boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down each time he reached the top. Doesn't that sound a bit like what the quote is getting at? The same struggle, the same outcome, over and over again. It’s a reflection of human experience that stays pretty consistent across time.
Now, let's bring it to a real-life scenario. Imagine you're working in customer service. You deal with angry customers day in and day out. At first, each complaint feels like a new problem to solve. But soon enough, you notice a pattern. The complaints are always about the same issues: delayed shipments, wrong orders, faulty products. It's the same situation on repeat. It’s not just problem after problem; it’s the same kind of problem over and over.
So, how do you handle this wisdom in your own life? First, recognize the patterns. If you know that certain issues keep cropping up, prepare for them. Develop strategies or routines to manage these recurring problems more efficiently. For example, if you're aware that you always hit a creative block at the same point in a project, plan a break or switch tasks right before you hit that wall.
Now, let’s paint a picture. Imagine you’re an elementary school teacher. Every year, you get a new batch of students, but the challenges remain the same. There’s always that one kid who struggles with math, the one who can't sit still, the one who doesn’t quite fit in. At first, it’s exhausting. But as the years go by, you start recognizing the patterns. You develop tricks and techniques—maybe you use games to make math fun, or you create a cozy corner for the restless kid to move around in. You find ways to turn these repetitive challenges into manageable, even predictable, parts of your job.
Life’s repetitive nature can feel discouraging, but it doesn’t have to. By acknowledging the patterns, you can become more adept at dealing with them. Think of it like learning to ride the waves instead of being knocked over by them.
In a way, this repetition brings its own weird kind of comfort. You know what’s coming, and that means you can get better at handling it. So next time you feel like you’re stuck in an endless loop, remember: the more you repeat something, the better you get at it. Life’s not just “one damn thing after another”—it’s the same damn thing, over and over. And that means you’ve got a chance to master it.
