Is life futile?

All of these things are simple to understand and clearly necessary:

-sex
-food
-health
-education
-transport
-security
-freedom
-privacy
-friends
-entertainment
-leisure

Most people don't have all these items in a satisfactory level but fail to realize that this is what is making them unhappy. They underestimate the role of these things in someone's happiness.

I say that life is futile because things that make life as good as it gets are all obvious and simple.

I've put sex in first because people tend to state that love has profound aspects. But they say that to anything they don't understand. Once you understand they become as trivial as everything else. Evolutionary biology and psychiatry have the answers for that.

Plus, money gives you most of them to some extent and makes the rest easier to get.
