Will Everyone With Common Sense, Please Stand Up for the Truth?!?

Don’t you just look at some people and say, “What planet are you from?!?” Don’t get me wrong at all, please. People are funny creatures, no doubt, and can be highly entertaining. My problem is with some people who neglect to use their common sense in dealing with everyday occurrences. What’s the saying that we use…..? “They can’t see the forest for the trees.”

We have got to start using our common sense especially in dealing with the world today. There is so much that bad people use on the internet, some media sites and in so many other ways to con us. So we have to learn how to decipher real information from fictitious information. We all should know and understand the difference between right and wrong. I’m sure that you know someone who continues to make bad mistakes, but never seems to learn the lessons that they are being taught. In order for us to learn from our mistakes and therefore develop common sense, we must first admit that we made a mistake and figure out the answer as to why it was a mistake in the first place. We must start the difficult task of being completely honest with ourselves. (Related post: How Do We Know That the Morality That We Are Looking at, May Actually, Instead, Be a Mirage?)

See, you’re using common sense, already! Aren’t you so smart?

So, what did I learn from this? If you’ve read some of my previous posts, then you know that I am continually learning. And….. God willing, I will continue to learn until the day that I die. My husband, Barry, said something very smart to me early on in our marriage. He said, “I try to learn something from everything that I do.” I thought that that was a statement just filled with common sense.

I have also realized that some things that I learn will not be pleasant and some will be. I know that I have the opportunity to grow from each and every experience that I have. I consider that to be a blessing! (Related post: My Dad Always Said That “You Can’t Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda…..”)

What can you gain from this? Knowledge is power, especially when it involves your growth as a person. It’s never easy to examine your mistakes and to admit your faults. Just know that you will be better off in the long run. Don’t let the past define who you are, at this moment. Let it, instead, be the turning point to a whole new beginning!
