If someone asks something deep I give a simple answer. Yea sure, life really isn't simple, but to treat it as complicated is the worst thing ever.

You've got it the wrong way around. Life is trivially simple: somewhere warm to sleep, enough to eat, and a handful of people to get along with is all you really need. We overcomplicate it with our dumb shit, and make ourselves fucking miserable in the process. You've got it the wrong way around.

Life would be simple if other people didn't exist. But other people exist, and some of them became scientists and they questioned things and brought up more questions, which they then answered, which brought up even more questions! And then people started forming societies, and status became a thing, and then social image became important. And now we have to complicate our lives if we want any semblance of success and happiness, but at the same time, the only way to become crazy successful is to go crazy overboard with work.So yes, maybe life isn't really more complicated than eating and sleeping at it's minimal, but we will never be satisfied with minimal. So it does us no good to pretend life is simple.
