"人間は過剰に複雑な生物であるもし彼が絶滅の運命にあるなら彼は単純さの欠如のために消滅するだろう"
— Ezra Pound

Simplified Meaning:
People are often very complex and make life difficult for themselves. If humans are to disappear from the Earth, it might be because they made their lives too complicated. Just like how having too much stuff in your home can make it hard to find what you need, people can overcomplicate their lives, leading to trouble. For example, in history, many great civilizations fell because their societies became too complicated, with too many rules and conflicts. To prevent this from happening, it's important to focus on simplicity—like spending time on things that truly matter, being kind, and not getting lost in unnecessary worries. Keeping life simple can help us avoid problems and live more happily.
