Wisdom

It seems not so long ago that the world was the other way around in my circle of friends. Not all of it is good for my friends, but in this post I will focus on the good. This has to do with my buddy TK. Where once I had a stable relationship, promising future, and wisdom beyond my years, these qualities now belong to him, but with credentials this time.

He's actually in a positive, functional relationship. He has actually started his career. He actually knows what the fuck he's talking about.

I found myself tempted to embark on a fool's errand, lured toward the rocks by the sweet song of a smoking hot babe. Not only did TK point out to me the nature of the beast, but the evidence was already right under my nose.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Thanks, TK, for looking out for me. I need it.

I began responding to a Facebook status regarding the uncommon nature of common sense, when I realized that I didn't know this girl well enough to delve into a full argument. So I have come here to blog about it.

Common sense is simply the more common form of any multitude of senses. For example, some common uncommon senses would be Spider-man's Spidey Sense, or M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense. As Deadpool, seen here, so neatly illustrates, the occurrence of common sense is a notable event.

Let us compare common sense to another "common" occurrence: the common cold. Though we do not spend a particularly large portion of our lives afflicted by the common cold, it is nonetheless common. If you are a non-believer of Spidey Senses and Sixth Senses, then I now ask you to name an uncommon cold.

...

That's right, you can't. There's no such thing. So, common sense is much like the common cold, and strikes with somewhat rarity. The lack of sense in people is like their lack of viral infection.

Yeah, you saw that movie... like a champ!

Keep up the fuckin' nice work.
