To know is simply that you're aware of something through observation, inquiry or information. To learn on the other hand is to gain or acquire knowledge of or skill in (something) by study, experience or being taught. Which means one you know of, the other you have a better understanding of because you've LEARNED the lesson (i.e., knowledge, skill and/or experience.)
For some reason or other, history has shown us (time and time again - since the beginning of time) that unless you LEARN from your past, you are likely to repeat it. Could it be the "reason" is to teach a lesson? Could it be unless you learn the lesson, history will repeat itself?
You don't have to believe it for it to be a fact - you'll just continue to be tested until you understand history only repeats itself because it wasn't understood the last time. A pattern of behavior tends to model that of others or continues because it hasn't been corrected. To correct something is to learn what the error is. Unless the error is corrected one is bound to repeat it because it knows no better.
What needs to be learned once and for all is this - we continue to hurt, attack, kill one another because we haven't learned to trust one another. You can't trust whom you don't love. You can't love whom you don't know. And what you don't know is that we are all one and the same - that is one thing that will never change. Because that will never change, history has no choice but to continue to teach this lesson - treat one another as you would have them treat you - until we as the human race learn this lesson, we will continue to have history repeat itself.
Know this, WE control history - LEARN from it and it won't repeat itself because there is no need! PEACE
