Themes of the play or just deep conversation topics?

"Such a one is a natural philosopher. Wast ever in court, shepherd?" Touchstone III.ii
 (PS I'm listening to a very pretty song called Leo by Ludovico Einaudi)

Though this play didn't have suspenseful death sequences or melancholy soliloquies, it did confuse me more than the others. The themes in plays like Othello are very apparent, and the emotions and ideas being portrayed are easy to see. However, in this play I wasn't really sure what the message was. At first I was thinking true love conquers all, but honestly I felt like the characters fell in love within a matter of lines. I'd say that's moving a little too fast. Also I didn't really see a point to the play. The only in depth topics breeched in the whole thing, came from two characters randomly having a discussion in the forrest. Some talk about true love. Others talk about the advantages and disadvantages of living in the city versus living in the forrest. I guess these themes are somewhat apparent in the character's actions, but I just don't get it enough to consider them prominent. Did the mighty Shakespeare just get lazy and decided to write his thoughts in dialogue instead of action? Or is there a purpose in just having the characters discuss it? Maybe it was just to add to the fairly carefree nature of the characters. Though you'd think being banished and living in the forrest would be horrible, they actually all don't seem to mind that much. So I guess he could be saying that if people were to step back from their busy city lives and just live in exile they would find much more love, peace, and happiness. I think this might actually be nice; I mean taking my friends into the woods and doing whatever we please doesn't sound half bad. So maybe this is what Shakespeare was trying to convey all along and the other conversations were just side topics.
