Optimism is just fancying that everything will be okay "in the end."
Pessimism is the horrible sense that no matter what, it won't be.
Meliorism is the conviction that your efforts can mediate the outcome.

Meaning is another plane altogether.
He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza
