Maybe your "common sense" isn't so common because it already has another descriptor, which you refuse to use: because to do so would evaporate your own wishful-thinking. Maybe the common-sense, which you think is not-so-common, has another all-too-common classification: WISDOM. Maybe you forgot that "wisdom" can relate as much to the reasons why you shouldn't stick your dick in
crazy, as to why a hot stove makes for a bad arm-rest. That the same logic can surmise why something is a bad bet, or a shitty wife.
Maybe you don't want to acknowledge that wisdom requires experience, and that it is the only builder of wisdow that this world has ever provided us. Maybe it's difficult to accept that there are others who will need to learn their own lessons. Maybe it's just too difficult to accept that there are others who have already learnt our lessons for us. Who knows. All I know is that I wish people were smarter.
