Old is New

The Teacher in Ecclesiastes 1:9 says,
”What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.”
Then why do I bother to write? What new and unique insight could I possibly have, that someone else - perhaps multitudes of someone elses haven’t already expressed?
As Switchoot says, I’m only adding to the noise.
But I think the real point of expression is missed through these lens. It’s not about sharing something new. It’s about sharing. Period.
It’s about relating and empathizing.
The comfort and encouragement that comes from knowing that you’re not alone. That someone else out there knows exactly how you feel.
