What to say
What can you tell someone who says I give up. I can't do it. Its impossible.
Say. I know how you feel. Moshe felt the same way when hashem told him to erect the mishkon. See rashi on verse.
Hashem said go through the motions and I will make it happen for you.

Answer depends on Thought
The reason saving a life overrides is in order to live to observe many more shabosos.
Thus the intention is to keep shabat & serve Hashem.
But one who desecrates the shabos because he dosent care to honor Hashems day is disrespectful thus his intention is in reverse.

Time to Gather
Moshe Rabeinu gathers all the Jews to teach them that there is a death penalty for anyone who does work on Shabos. This teaches us the supreme importance of shabos in that it guides us to know the purpose of life.
We work 6 days because that is what Hashem did , we then rest on shabos like He did.

Daf Hayomi
We are starting Mesechtas Moed Katan which deals with the laws of Chol Hamoed.
The sium comes out on the last day of Chol Hamoed Pesach.
Rambam holds that the prohibition of work on C. H. Is by law of the Sages
Tosfos holds it is a Torah law.
Ramban holds it is half & half.
