"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most People exist that is all."
Well! existing is agonizing as well. Life is a vicious cycle of events. Things happen to you, you suffer then you either get used to it (~ perpetually) or things get better. You make peace with everything and right when life seems to settle, the vicious nature of life cracks out. We observe a recurring pattern of events leading to the same kind of situations that have already occurred, the same kind of feelings and situations, or most likely people. No matter how much time has passed between these patterns when the cycle reoccurs, we tend to behave the same way we did the first time, which actually justifies the statement " history repeats itself" as in the general case. It is a behavioral pattern of social beings to revolve in the same vicious orbits instead of taking a tangential path and exiting the vicious cycle.
