Life repeats itself mindlessly - unless you become aware, it will go on repeating like a wheel.
That's why Buddhists call it the wheel of life and death, the wheel of time.
It moves like a wheel: birth is followed by death, death is followed by birth; love is followed by hate, hate is followed by love; success is followed by failure, failure is followed by success.
Just watch for a few days, you will see a pattern emerging, a wheel pattern.
One day, a fine morning, you are feeling so good and so happy, and another day you are so dull.
And another day you are so full of life, so blissful, you are feeling thankful, that you are in a mood of deep gratefulness then the next moment you are sad and frustrated.... And it goes on and on, but you don't see the pattern.
But once you see the pattern, you get out of it.
