So Called 'Common Sense'



What is common sense?


Something which is common to our senses. Sense of touch, taste, hear, seeing, smell.


In any normal human being dictionary the whole life can be defined within the understanding of these senses. Events/actions which repeat themselves within the understanding of these senses becomes common sense to our mind and someone who doesn't seems accepting or behaving as per common senses is termed foolish.

Lets examine some common senses which are kind of guidelines to our day to day life. Common sense say that sun rise in east and sets in west but sun is always there neither it rises nor it sets and day brings light in form of sunshine and we can see outside world but to owl night brings light so what is light when sun was there or when sun was not there, ...for owl it is there in night but for human it is there during day, when we touch surface we say it is hot or cold but actually it is decided which way heat will flow, we see plants green, sky blue but for dog world is black and white there is nothing like colors for dog, chilly is very tough to eat for most humans but ask parrot it will be sweet for him, we can only hear if sound is above some decibel but ask mosquito what he can hear, what is silence for us can be very noisy for a mosquito, leave out smell becoz even in humans it is undecided to some extent which is good and which one is bad.

Question here if we are equipped with some defined interfaces and framework then is it worth to go beyond and try to seek 'Divine Consciousness' on which you can't apply logic because human senses are not capable of it ( at least the five we talked about), many humans will term that foolish or Should I say that keep on believing in our limited senses will be foolish.

Seems like both ways will lead to some kind of foolishness in one way or another so its just matter of what kind of foolish you want to be ......lol
