Rat race
Definition: A rat race is a term used for an endless, self-defeating or pointless pursuit.
Etymology:It origin from conjuring up the image of the futile efforts of a lab rat trying to escape whilst running around a maze or in a wheel. In an analogy to the morden city, many rats in a single maze run around making a lot of noise bumping into each other, but ultimately achieve nothing (meaningful) either collectively or individually.
Trying to revive a dead person is just like a rat race.
