A man driven to incessant work by a sense of deep insecurity and loneliness; or another one driven by ambition, or greed for money.

On the other hand a man sitting quiet and contemplating, with no purpose or aim except that of experiencing himself and his oneness with the world, is considered to be "passive", because he is not "doing" anything.
