It is also common knowledge that repetition in an effective tool in memorization of poetry.

So, why is it that so many people seem to hate it when we repeat ourselves?

We need to have compassion and understanding of the elderly, as they often repeat themselves.  I know I have at times found it convenient to group myself with them ...as a ploy to insist that others be more polite when I repeat myself.

That aside, when we don't like others to repeat themselves, it is often because we don't want to hear the words they are saying. The truth is, repetition is used in all these cases as a technique to emphasize.

We understandably don't often want something that is negative to be repeated, or emphasized.  But, we must first define negative.

Negative is not always harmful or bad ...it is often merely not wanted.  It is clear that we may not want to hear the harmful and bad ...but, sometimes we don't want to hear the truth.

The point is ...is it necessary for the truth to be learned?  And I propose that it is both necessary and wise.

Therefore, this is my defense in favor of repetition ...that I believe the truth should be emphasized.
