Common Sense
Ever have one of those moments where you just feel so uneducated and slow because the answer to whatever problem you were facing was so simple? Like forgetting where you put down your cell phone, calling it and being like "AH! of course, why didn't i check the fridge!?". Well maybe that's just me , but we all know the feeling. That's the common sense feeling. But how does one classify "Common Sense"? Well most everyone would agree common sense is something that everyone should know, hence "common" as in its knowledge that's common among everyone. But we as people, for being so highly evolved among the other species of this planet, sometimes forget to use our common sense. There are times in our life where we all have that deep knowledge of something screaming at us from within not to do something, but somehow we do it anyway. But that's part of being human. Maybe that's what truly separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom; not being exceptionally smart, but being too smart to where we sometimes ignore our basic instincts, or our "Common Sense". Way to go freedom of choice! :D

Lol, I absolutely have those derp moments. Thought it was funny/interesting your statement about us being too smart for our own good.

Everyone mainly wrote about people either having, or not having common sense. I find it funny how you were the only one to write about how all individuals have common sense, they simply don't put it to good use at the appropriate times. I definitely agree with you on that all of this!!
ReplyDeleteLove the phone in the frige comment, I have actually put things in the fridge when I have a hand full of stuff and I am distributing it to different locations, Just not thinking and one hand goes to the wrong spot. Later of course my kids will find whatever it was and say "Hey, who but my deodorant in the frige". At least I have the common sense not to answer. lol
