pessimistic outlook Explanation: One option. pes·si·mism (ps-mzm) n. 1. A tendency to stress the negative or unfavorable or to take the gloomiest possible view: "We have seen too much defeatism, too much pessimism, too much of a negative approach" (Margo Jones). 2. The doctrine or belief that this is the worst of all possible worlds and that all things ultimately tend toward evil. 3. The doctrine or belief that the evil in the world outweighs the good. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pessimistic -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2013-11-16 17:50:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think it's referring to the current financial crisis. It's saying that many people are under the impression that even if they give their best, they will not obtain the results they expect/deserve. People give everything they've got but continually ask themselves, 'What's the point? No matter what I do, the crisis is stronger than me'. |
