Return to Common Sense
Common sense is different from common knowledge. Often the use of common sense in every day talk is actually referring to common knowledge
Common sense is the ability all human beings possess to be able to make sense and meaning of the world around them.
School sense is a pseudo-sense based on rules- formal learning rules. These rules are governed by academia. The accepted application of current rules rather than common sense determine what sense is made and often results in sense with no personal meaning. The more removed from personal meaning the school sense being made is, the more separated from common sense the developing sense becomes. Acceptance not meaning is the objective.
Work sense is the same. It’s a way of making sense of the world using work rules. These rules are governed by big corporations to which employees aspire to belong. Once again acceptance not meaning is the objective.
This slow death of common sense results in the birth of a mindless, soulless being never satisfied and never fulfilled. Always searching but never finding. For that which he seeks is right there in his hands but he can’t see it as he searches with false senses…
Unless all these become integrated into common sense we will never be able to leverage our natural ability to be excellent and to excel
But rather than integrate with common sense, more and more these pseudo-senses appear like clouds hovering above common sense creating a whole new type of person, a whole new type of consciousness… Interaction is quite an interesting feat as often the superficiality of it disturbs and confounds all but no one can do anything about it as no one understand the root of the discomfort and lack of engagement… It’s no wonder no one can find the reason when all search with false senses!
So to survive, we learn the rules, play the game and keep our feet as far off the ground as possible so we never have to confront our greatest fear – emptiness.
