Reruns (from Manual of the Warrior of Light)

A warrior of light knows that certain moments repeat themselves.

He often finds himself faced by the same problems and situations, and seeing these difficult situations return, he grows depressed thinking that he is incapable of making any progress in life.

"I've been through all these before," he says to his heart.

"Yes, you've been through all these before," replies his heart. "But you've never been beyond it."

Then the warrior of light realises that these repeated experiences have but one aim: to teach him what he does not want to learn.
