One thing we need to do is to have "Common Sense" Life requires us (you) to be able to function and understand the options or choices that arise on your pathway of life!

"Common sense is one of the things that allows one to make better decisions on our pathway of life!"     a True-ism

Common sense is something that must be learned or absorbed in life...   It does not just happen and no one can give it to you!

After living many years, it has become apparent; that many people do not seem to have much,  if any common sense!  Why?

Well one thing that builds your bank of common sense is the size of your personal knowledge base...  Which is comes from what you  know or have learned to use....       Much if not all of your accumulated knowledge is based upon your personal experience(s)....  Which unfortunately many people have not had many varied personal experiences...   This is a key limiting factor in their development of common sense!

For thousands of years people have learned and coped with life based on their experiences; but in recent times more information comes to us by mass media, TV, Radio, Internet or in Printed form!   While this offers a vast and wide scope of information, it is not a substitute for actual personal experience...

We now have programs and videos on almost everything; but these still do not replace  personal action...   These alternate methods may help to give guidance or show ways to do certain things;  as an aid or help!    Yet we still need hands on experience to give us the ability to use the information for some beneficial reason...

Watching or listening can only go so far in getting a person to the point where they feel that they can perform or complete a certain new never before accomplished tasks in life!  But only when you step out using your faith to to accomplish something, based upon what you think have learned; does you life move to a different level!   This is where your learning meets the solid wall of reality!

Remember : the facts are, the rest is what you want or think!

It is a matter of personal application and hands on experience coupled with pure faith that makes the difference!

This is where we build and use "Common Sense" to better live our life...

So start by stepping out on the your Faith, based upon the knowledge you have amassed on your pathway of life!    This is where you develope "common sense" to help you become a better person and be a help to others...

***  Much of the trouble and grief people have today is due to the fact that many have not developed any "Common Sense"  and thus make poor  or disastrous choices in life!    So much of the life style of many people today revolve around the temporary things in life;  like,  sports, leisure, party time actives, and destructive religious practices...      Most of which only require showing up, and adapting to the plan of the day {whatever that is.}...

 BTW;  This is not a put down or judgment of the above mentioned actives, just showing that these may become very limiting, captivating and restrictive when they become your whole life style!   Each of the various activies or practices in life may serve some tempory function; it is here that you must decide which is a benefit to the promotion of your life!   There are many things which you should be involved with, only knowledge and actual hands on experience will give you the base for developing your "Common Sense" factor!  

The problem in just belonging to a gang, club, team, family or some religious orders; is that they do not generally,  want you to think or decide anything beyond their rules or set requirements....   Thus you will not develop any self worth beyond the limits of the organization to which you follow or belong... {Generally a very limited development}        This in it self does not lead to any development of your " Common Sense"  or  free thought patterns...

 ***  Get out and develop your sense of direction either right or wrong...  From which you will learn!

Then you will develop Common Sense!
