Do people have an aversion to complexity?

Question

Isn't life and the universe complex though? Not everything in existence is necessarily simple in its design, or simplistic in understanding or perception.

Answer 1

some people do

when I am stressed, I look for simplicity

when I get bored, I look for complexity

Answer 2

In the search for a simple answer, wouldn't life be easier if all the answers were simple, to make this question easier to understand, if human life were uniform and everyone spoke the same language then we wouldn't need to make things seem complicated. If there were other ways to impress people then simple ideas would be easily exchanged with the most simple terminology necessary. However, an idea of complex language, which makes simple explainations seem complex and the individual feel better, however it leaves the less educated feel left out and you will never know who understands.

Answer 3

Could this be the very reason for people loathing complications that if they wouldn't they would lost themselves in extremely complicated structures and situations all around. They would not have been able to pull out of labyrinths of their very own mind, and without a definite aversion to complexity people would be vulnerable to the lures of riddles and enigmatic situations.

The mind is curious and inquisitive by nature, and often it is too hard to avoid temptations to know or to escape a burning question. The desire to have life simplified then would be just that thing that mind requires to keep itself human, to save the heart from burning up in thoughts.

It is due to this fact that we hate darkness, detest small 'terms & conditions' in small print, avoid difficult situations and wish to live a simple life, or a life simplified to a degree where it feels like fun. But human nature is not all too trivial for there are efforts that are made to add meanings and value to life as where we sees lack of purpose we find one, where we darkness we lights a candle, and where we find complexities we seek simplest possible solutions.

All good thoughts a simple thought, or thoughts leading up to simplicity in life, where all complications are considered only to eliminate complication, to reach simple fact in truth.

Answer 4

I think many people do these days. Sometimes though you need a bit of complexity to define something more accurately. Sometimes, over-simplifying things can mean that you inadvertantly offend others... At least where speech / written language is concerned.
