Why did Eisav run away from the truth? Because productivity was too difficult; and “Let’s better do zero, and be an: אִיש שָדֶה who hunts animals all day”. But Eisav didn’t realize how Yiddishkeit is total: דַרְכֵי נֹעַם ways of pleasantness; i.e., JUST DO WHAT YOU CAN, and it’s ENOUGH. This is symbolized by the: תּוֹהִירִים leniencies of a soldier with a Y’fas To’ar, and eating Treife temporarily.
כִּי הוּא יָדַע יִצְרֵנוּ (Tehillim 103:14) The Torah understands our weaknesses, and lets us go at our own pace.
The same thing with Dovid’s greatness. In Elul we do Teshuva, and we say a: קַפִּיטוּל chapter of Tehilim which says solely: לְדָוִד (not even: מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד) to tell us that for doing Teshuva we need Dovid. Like Chazal say that the reason why Dovid was Nichshal with Bas-Sheva was only: לְהוֹרוֹת תְשׁוּבָה בְּיָחִיד to serve as an example that an individual can do Teshuva.
Dovid is indeed our address for Teshuva! He was an Admoni and Mo'avi, and he had more issues than all of us! The Eitza for Elul is to get involved in: עֲשֵׂה טוֹב and take a Chavrusa and learn! (R' Nosson Wachtfogel Zatzal).
The Meiri says that Dovid was too busy for learning, yet he said: אַחַת שָׁאַלְתִּי מֵאֵת ה' For what do I ask? Just to sit in the house of Hashem (i.e. the Bais Medrash).
By just constantly asking (שָׁאַלְתִּי) and by wanting to learn, you can be Zoche b'Din. Chazal say that Dovid had an Admoni Yetzer Hara similar to Eisav (who indeed gave up) which is quite scary. But he knew that just trying and wanting is all Hashem wants! It also says: לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹעַם ה' make it Geshmak! Keep davening for a Geshmak in learning!
