Happy
National Use Your Common Sense Day!
This is one that is strongly needed in today’s society, being as there is a significant lack in it these days! The Oxford English Dictionary defines common sense as “The endowment of natural intelligence possessed by rational beings; ordinary, normal or average understanding; the plain wisdom which is everyone's inheritance,” while a more simplified definition could be “the ability to think and behave in a reasonable way and to make good decisions.” Regardless of which you choose, I’m sure you can see now why I believe common sense is not so slowly dying!
Now, I’m not saying we can’t all have moments, but some people are just so clueless to this basic state of being, that I have to wonder… how do they function on their own?! People who just dart out into the street without taking into account that the car cannot stop instantaneously, or who put a knife into the toaster while it’s plugged in and on. While these are only two examples of lack of common sense, they are examples none-the-less. What ones make you cringe? Tell us by voting on the Daily Poll! And for goodness sake – USE YOUR COMMON SENSE TODAY!
