mylifewithu: Animals live a basic life it's about food, pooping , raising babies, running from the enemy. Well they don't have to pay utilities, or have a government or any of the stupid crap us humans have to deal with. No wonder they stay together. Less Stress
Animals that mate for life are devoted to each. It has nothing to do with the simplicity or complexity of their life. They grieve at the loss of their partner. And the saddest thing, is that they never take on another mate for the remainder of their days
Besides, it is all relative. To you the life of a bird for example, may appear simple. But for the bird that must migrate to the other side of the globe, crossing oceans to avoid the cold winter chill, flying scores of hours non stop, etc, would be pretty hard going. It's not all about singing in the treetop, and grabbing the occasional worm.
