Finally! A character's perspective on the world that is not completely negative! The ירי אלוקים gives us some ideas that we can consider for ourselves that will not depress us. The ירי אלוקים knows that G0d is the ultimate power behind everything, but he still believes that we should be responsible for our actions. Everything that we do matters and counts. He also says that you can't completely depend on Korbanot to atone for your sins. Another major element that he speaks about is that only fools talk a lot. Talking a lot can get you into trouble, therefore, stay away from unnecessary talking. Also talking can lead you to vowing, and if you make a vow, you must do it. It is better to not make a vow at all, than to break one.
The ירי אלוקים is in between G0d and man's role, but G0d has more power. The עמל responds to his philosophy by asking him what the point is if you can't take it with you after you die. The ירי אלוקים gives an answer that I personally agree with. He says that you should try to make the world a better place. Even if you aren't going to benefit from your toil, others will. It is not about where you end up, it's about the journey that you take.
This can really help people look on the bright side when the journey gets rough. Look back at the journey you took, and smile. It is not healthy to look back and not see the worth in what you have accomplished.
