Same Mistake Twice

Ever had to watch someone do something you know will hurt them in the long run, yet still there's nothing you can do about it? Simply hold your peace, for they probably know in the back of their minds it's the wrong thing, but aren't yet able to admit it to themselves. Or you keep quiet, because at one time long ago you were in the same situation, and made the same mistakes. Only a fool learns from his own mistakes, a wise man from the mistakes of others. Yeah. Maybe so. Well then call us all fools, for the lesson never seems quite relevant 'til it's applied to our own pain. Am I holding my peace now? Maybe. In truth, I'm not even sure what I'm talking about. And if I were, I wouldn't admit it.

So it goes.
