From a hashgafic point of view, I believe it explains the way Hashem helps us grow. When we are faced with a challenge that we find difficult, and we resist making the right choice, or we resist making the appropriate changes, then Hashem presents it many more times until it has been mastered.
WIY – Sorry, I know, I think it’s been mentioned. For some reason my typing fingers keep forgetting. I will try to be more vigilant. (I think they default to g cuz of Hashgacha, I’m very food minded)
