We know about the 5 senses taste, touch, smell, sight, hearing, and most of us are more than a little familiar with the 6th sense ESP. Well I propose a 7th sense – COMMON SENSE. I know we are all supposed to have common sense already but I swear every day I see more and more people acting as my Grandmother use to say “like they don’t have the sense God gave a goose”. I personally don’t know any geese that have a lack of common sense but Gram may have known some…
Perhaps it is Hollywood’s fault that so many people don’t possess (or have a reduced capacity for) common sense. With movies like Jacka** the Movie(s) and TV series, the reality shows etc. that seem to kill brain cells by the second while they are watched. Since the main focus of these programs is that the actors/participants in them don’t seem to suffer from the burden of common sense.
Mom’s used to dispense tiny tidbits of wisdom to their children, the children’s sponge like brains would grab those wise words and along with life lessons learned would blossom into adulthood with their common sense securely in place. They don’t run with scissors, they don’t lick frozen flag poles, and they don’t turn right from the far left lane while driving down the freeway at 70 miles an hour. You know common sense… Maybe Mom’s across the globe are slacking, what with working, raising children, and attempting to have a life of our own, we have somehow let down or prodigy.
The 7th sense is in my humble opinion the most important of all the senses, I mean really you could live quite well with out the sense of smell, or taste. Most of us live with out ESP just fine, and although it isn’t any ones dream life, the sense of touch, sight and hearing are not necessary to have to live a good long life. But common sense, well think about it, sticking metal objects in electric receptacles and standing around watching a tornado/hurricane bearing down on you can definitely be considered a life threatening lack of common sense.
Can the Public Schools teach common sense, or is it learned in our pre-school years? Is it just that the human form has mutated, and common sense was left out of the genetic equation? Or maybe these things that I relate to a lack of common sense are something truly different. Possibly all the people I see acting with a total lack of common sense aren’t human after all… Aliens, this has to be the answer.
Just in case Mom never told you---- think before you act, your actions can and often do affect other people. Be Safe Out There.
