Common Sense.. Is it Common?

My mother has always tried to teach me things using phrases so that they will be easy to remember. One of the phrases she taught me is that "Common Sense is not common". Everyday I get older and get out and see the world I kinda have to believe this to be true. We as humans like to think that common sense is just something that we all have and its our security blanket. But some of the things people do and say just make you think... maybe it it isn't. While on a bus with a friend this lady was on her cell phone talking to someone. Now it is already agreed that talking on a cell phone in certain settings is considered rude. In my opinion in the confines of a vehicle it certainly is. While on the phone she couldn't get good reception so the other person on the phone couldn't hear her well. Now, Common Sense would dictate that you would hang up the phone and text or just call back later. No. Instead she proceeded to yell louder and louder into the phone. Keep in mind the bus was full about now. Everyone was staring at her and she looked at her friend and simply said "what?". This type of thing is fairly common and its only one of many examples I could give. It just makes me think....

It is sad to say but the majority of people who use "Common sense" is becoming fewer and fewer. True that their's never really been a time where everybody has used common sense but their has been times where a vast majority has. As an american i becoming more and more embarrassed by the fact that many Americans are beginning to act without disregard for others. I turned on the news only to hear about a man shooting another man because he said his team was the best!

 

In the end while their appears to be many that do not use "Common sense" if all the people who use "common Sense" could come together maybe we could make a change in the world for the better.

I disagree. Most people are fairly intelligent  And since common means majority, common sense is common. I believe so, anyway.

@Firebolt I believe everybody has common sense i just don't think everybody uses it. When you turn on the news and see some of the things people do and  kill for it just sickens me.

As Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes infamy once said, "I have common sense, I just choose not to use it!" it's pretty true, considering the fact the majority of the population seems to show little interest in common sense, and that is why $wag, YOLO, Young Money, and all that nonsense existed.
