Why do we face the same trials, obstacles, situations, or temptations day after day, month after month, and year after year?

Consider the illustration above... Some may follow path 'A', where events in life repeat endlessly. But I suggest that those who so choose can follow path 'B', where events in life do repeat, but such repetition provides opportunity for growth, and such growth moves one further and further in another dimension. With each pass, the opportunities for growth are different and present exactly what the individual needs. "When the student is ready the teacher will appear." The student may discover the lesson from within the infinite opportunities offered by the situation -- all that is required is an open and understanding heart. Progressive discovery can only come through progressive understanding, and vice versa.

The pessimist will retort, "not again." The optimist will ask, "what more can I learn?"
