עבד v.s. עמל

This week we learnt about the עבד's view v.s. the עמל's. The עבד's goal is to try. He is happy with what he does. To him, it is ok if he doesn't do everything. He cares about the process, but the עמל only wants to accomplish things. If he doesn't reach his goal by accomplishing, he is very upset. When he doesn't finish, accomplish, and have it be perfect then הכל הבל. The ירא אלקים responds to this saying that the עמל will never be happy. He always wants more and more and is never satisfied. I think the עבד has a good philosophy. It is good to be happy and proud of yourself when you try. All you can do is try your hardest.
