That's the old existential conundrum, isn't it?
How to live your life when no one tells you what to do and everything seems too complicated.
Life in the past was very difficult but, in retrospect, very simple. Life now is a lot easier, but more complex.
I can deal with complexity, so obviously I prefer my modern, easy, complex life. So do most of you.
I can see why some people might feel differently, though.
