Ecclesiastes 1:11
"Is there a thing of which it may be said, “Behold, this is new”? It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us."
Key Reflection
Ecclesiastes 1:11–12 suggests that all things under the sun are not truly new; what we perceive as novel is actually just a repetition of what has been before. This implies a cyclical view of life, where the world and its events repeat themselves, emphasizing the futility of seeking novelty in an endless cycle of familiar experiences.
