I am really interested in what people think about this one. If a person just lived, and did not ever think about the life he lived, does that mean he wasted his life? Even if he lived happily?
Let's assume that there is a shepherd that only lives and doesn't think about life, and there is a scientist who is trying to understand the world and thinking deeply about life itself. It is true that the shepherd will have a very simpler understanding of life and will never be able to know what the scientist knows. But can't the same thing be said about the scientist as well? The scientist, by understanding life at a deeper level, has destroyed it's simplicity and he will never be able to live like the shepherd. Both lost something.

My view of a life without philosophy is a state of existing, but not living. It is with philosophy that we understand the meaning of our potential. A life without philosophy means a life without ever asking the question “why?” Without the logic and search for truth that is associated with philosophy, you are susceptible to being fed lies without knowing ‘why.’ In this generation, if you have a mind that can think, it seems that philosophy is inevitable.
The philosopher Plato said, “Without knowledge, we live in a cave.” Within the cave, we only see the shadows of real things, but not themselves. With philosophy, we have the chance to see real things outside the cave.

I can enjoy pretty much any activity one can think of. For example, yesterday I had a thrill washing dishes. When I started washing them, I noticed that the dishwashing soap made a lot of bubbles in water, and those bubbles were peculiarly distributed. I was curious how exactly they were distributed and why - so I intently observed them and tried to come up with some explanation of what I was seeing.
I did not figure out many patterns and, overall, did not get any answers - but seemingly mundane process turned out to offer a lot of hidden enjoyment.
Many people go about their life without noticing the world they are living in. But if you focus on the world around you, you can find a lot of things of interest no matter what your lifestyle is and no matter what the current activity you are doing is.
In case of being a shepherd, I could look at the behavior of individual sheep and try to connect it to the behavior of the sheep as a group. It probably would get boring eventually, but then I would come up with some other subject to explore. And the opportunities are nearly limitless in this.
Eventually I would want to change the environment, of course - but that is just me; I am a restless soul and I need to always be moving somewhere. I wouldn't say it is because my life lost its simplicity, but, rather, it is because my life was never supposed to be static.
To summarize, simplicity and complexity are somewhat intertwined. Simple things put together result in complexity, and complex things put together often form simple groups.

Both did not lose anything.
What makes human beings humans is the curiousity.
Not every person is wired in the same way.
Some people do not like to think at all. I have met those people and I become shocked to see why don't these people at least ponder for some time about the life they are living.
At night times, sometimes I look at the stars and question our whole existence. Who created us? Who others are there? What are we all doing here?
If GOD creates us, who created him? and many more questions.
But, there are people who care about the simplest things in life.
So, if he is getting satisfaction by living his life in whatever way he desires, then why does he need to think about philosophy and all that?
So, every human beings are wired differently. Look and research about 16 mbti personality types. There are many links which you can find on google.
Hope I have helped.
