We celebrate the complications and complexity of life but is it really? Could life not be simpler than what we imagine it to be? Is everything not a social construct? If so, why did we construct these hierarchies of complexity that are only understood by the "elite"? Are we infatuated with elitism? Have we blurred the lines between our wants and our needs? Why the complications when you only want to tell the time? Is this all for the pursuit of happiness?
