Meaning
This line reads as a contrast between repetition in human history and the possibility of renewal in faith. It can be taken to mean that pride keeps driving people toward the same old patterns, while humility offers the real break from them. In a conflict over ego or status, it lands as a sober reminder that the deepest issue is not novelty, but the direction of the heart.
