Why Hobbes Was So Pessimistic About Human Nature

Q: Hobbes describes life in the state of nature as "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." Why?
A: because the decisions we have to make in everyday life and following moral standards can make decision making in life difficult. Everyone has different personailities and motives which takes a great affect on people around them because they migh have different standards than someone else.
