Hakol Hevel

There are two different meanings for the word "Kohelet"-
 קבל- which means congregation which they gather all the people together and address people. Another meaning is מקהלה- which means choir that brings together different perspectives/voices about life, and internal dialogue/debate between different  perspectives.  
There are four statements that kohelet makes: That everything is worthless, Asking what the purpose of man is, people come and go but the word remains the same, and nothings new. 
Kohelet seems to think about life with a תחת השמש meaning is that nothing changes, It's Pointless, and it all stay's the same.
