>The world was shown to me in the form of an old crone who had been bedecked with jewelry.
>I asked her: “How many husbands have you had?”
>She answered: “Too many for me to count them!”
>I then asked her: “Did they die or did you divorce them?”
>She answered: “I killed all of them.”
>I exclaimed: “Pity the husbands who remain for the future! How can they possibly fail to learn a lesson from the past husbands and not become scared of you, seeing as you murdered them one by one!”
>(Ghazali, Ihya’, Vol. 4, p. 589 )

Neat parable anon. I think it’s saying people don’t learn from the mistakes of those that came before and keep making the same ones over and over again.
