It’s no where to be found.
No
Where.
My friend and I sat for hours at a coffee shop today.
While discussing life and work and more life
We had a difficult time figuring out where common sense has escaped to.
Please feel free to start a list in the comments
About where common sense has vanished from.
If,
By some odd chance you still have it in your part of the world,
I will send fare for you to put it on a plane, train or bus,
And send it back here.

Common sense has been dead and buried along with common courtesy.

My dad possessed great common sense, .. One day I did show up to work on a Monday, arm in plaster from my Saturday football match,….. and he said to me…. “You know Ivor”…. “There’s only so much book-work in the plumbing game”…… so that was end of me playing football, and I become a proper plumber !!

Isn’t it amazing how one comment from someone we trust (and who has common sense) can make such a change in our world Ivor?

Sadly, common sense is rather uncommon in today’s society. A loss of great magnitude. It would seem prudent to pursue the resurrection before it is lost forever. Let the search begin. Thank-you!

I love your wordage here Ellen. And fully agree!

oh yes, there is always reason to believe that common sense has disappeared … you look over the whole, over situations and can only despair. In addition, we forget that the common sense in us in the smallest unit sits. One must start in the small to change the overall picture? Easy said, I wished I could find more sense in myself…..

I like your ‘sense’ Anie. And I think you are on to something here. It is within us to use our common sense, even in the smallest of ways. It will build up, if we employ it again!

Thank you Colleen, you are so kind. Well there is no other way I guess, as just use the little senses which is left and be patient in building it up, although it can really hurt to search for it each day new.

You’re welcome Anie. I suppose it’s part of our humanness, the constant search.

Of course, but a constant search can happen in a beautiful way with a beautiful soul together, and has not to be a lonely way of tears… I believe!

Oh, dear! I wrote something about common sense and didn’t wait long enough for publishing my comment. I think the everyday people are confused, not necessarily lacking common sense. I wonder why they blindly are saying some famous people are doing a great job. It is confusing. Not sure how it has blown or flown out the window, Colleen. 🤔

You may very well be right Robin. I can see how confusing things are. But hand in hand with that is…..we need to use our common sense to tell us to stop the nonsense, if it doesn’t ‘make’ sense, maybe it has no sense. 😉

I think the key word is “common” and that’s our problem! What makes sense to one doesn’t to another. It’s the price we pay for not being robots, I guess. LOL! That being said, I’m confident that my brand of common sense is far superior to anyone with whom I have disagreement, and I have LOTS of that disagreement. Sometimes my antidote to total frustration is to pull myself into a little ball and just minimize, minimize, minimize engagement. It’s much easier. Ha!

I think many of us are ‘guilty’ of thinking our common sense is far superior. 😉 However….I think the key word is ‘common’ and that ‘common’ is the basic denominator in what should be logical. For example-‘don’t kill people’. Seems basically a very common sense kind of thing we should all believe in. I know that’s a biggy, but I think there are just basic things we have lost sight of. Sigh. But, that’s just my superior way of thinking! 😂
