complicated

There are so many things in this world that are complicated like : war, the economy, the social structure of our culture, and many others that I have no idea about, so why do we continue to try to make the simple things way more complicated than they are?  Family, friends, and any other people we love are the simplest things in our lives, yet the relationships we have with these people are the most complicated?
I mean our emotions are not as complex as we think they are - we either love or don't, laugh or cry, help or hinder, feel or don't, these are pretty simple things that we have this almost obsession with making way more complicated then they are. That's not to say that they are easy, just not complicated. The heart wants what the heart wants whether it is good for us or not.
I mean really the world is in such a big mess right now and I believe that a big part of that is that we strive to find solutions to simple problems without logic or reason.
Sometimes in our everyday lives we see it - some people just cannot be reasoned with, how many times do we bang our heads against a wall before the headache gets so bad we feel the need for a better way?

I do understand that most people are just trying to get through the day without tragedy, which in today's day and age is tough enough, but when someone in authority tells us something that just defies logic we should say something to someone and ask questions.
