The Paradox of Life

Studying biology, or any science, seems to present itself in a more shallow (though, no less intelligent) way than it should be in its universal sense. Schools teach us the consequences of the universe, but I'm sure many think what was the cause:
why does this happen, why doesn't that happen, how does it do that, etc...

My thought came about when looking at biology through the flip side, moreover it is a point rather than a question.

The more complex you are,the less reasoning there is to you. The simpler you are, the less reasoning there is for you.

Contemplate primitive life: why would it need to or want to become such a complex being as a human - why not remain a highly efficient single-cell organism? But think again for the reasoning for living if you are a primitive life form - there is no feel, no emotion - just survival which caries nothing for you. Complex beings such as animals are able to feel and this provides a point (false or real) to living.

Food for thought.
