Nostalgia

Nostalgia - the illusion of good times - brings us back (recurrence). Kill nostalgia.

Machiavelli noted in his Discourses that people will even be nostalgic for the most tyrannous times a human being can endure through because once the danger and violence and chaos and torment and evil is passed and no longer around to threaten they then look back and only see what they knew (or imagine) to have been good. In our times notice how Russians who lived through the tyranny of the Stalinist regime will now look back at that with nostalgia and idealize it. The devil can't beat humans up enough in his kingdom that those same humans won't be nostalgic for it all when they are looking back on it.
