just a thought

It’s our outlook on life that puts us in the position we are today. Society plays a role in our day to day lives, but it’s left up to us on where we want to go. Opportunities rain for us to be better people and we have choices to take full advantage or how I would like to put it, “run with it and shine” or not!

My Thoughts to Auron's comment on Common Sense...

Quoting myself, ““sense” is concomitant to “common” in our human lives as we grow with knowledge.”

But I like the point Auron brought up in the comment he made.

This certainly explains why the phrase "common sense is not very common" is so common. (pun intended) Clearly it is not possessed by everyone.

I think "common sense" falls under the broader category of "wisdom" which is knowledge gained from a combination of life experience, observation, and careful reflection.

I want to look at it this way, wisdom is something that is shared from one person to another. “A person with common sense would seek advice from a wise person”, so to speak.

When we use the word common sense, it’s with expectation of someone, (e.g., you would expect John Doe to know better or don’t you have any common sense child!)

  • · Cultural Differences
  • · Cultural Identity
  • · Nationality
  • · Race
  • · Gender
  • · Human Nature
  • · Social Background
  • · Religious Belief

How would you categorize them under “common sense” and “wisdom”? Or which ones develop us [1]as individuals or in our human lives. So going back to my point, common sense is an expectation others have of us and wisdom is shared from ones experience. Here is an e.g, one can read a book, but not write a book. I leave you with food for thought.

Common Sense

My Lecturer started off the class by explaining to us there is no such thing as “common sense”.
The whole class was stunned by this statement and disagreeing with a puzzled look on their faces, but we allowed her to give us more insight. She said, from the time we were born up to this day, our parents would correct us to do what’s right”. So her point was we were not born with knowing what a right from what wrong is.
I think we were on this topic for at least an hour, everybody had their input.
“Whatever definition one uses, identifying particular items of knowledge as "common sense" becomes difficult. Philosophers may choose to avoid using the phrase when using precise language. But common sense remains a perennial topic in epistemology and many philosophers make wide use of the concept or at least refer to it. Some related concepts include intuitions, pre-theoretic belief, ordinary language, the frame problem, foundational beliefs, good sense, endoxa, and axioms”.
(Citation: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
After reading this, I can see why she said so…
I know I had to make sense out of this to argue my point. At the same time, I didn’t want to contradict myself if I was to refer it to “Instincts”, or broaden their (the Philosophers) outlook at another angle when it comes to “Common sense”.
Let’s look at the two meanings:
Common Sense, based on a strict construction of the term, consists of what people in common would agree on: that which they "sense" as their common natural understanding. Most people would consider prudent and of sound judgment, without reliance on esoteric knowledge or study or research, but based upon what they see as knowledge held by people "in common". Thus "common sense" (in this view) equates to the knowledge and experience which most people allegedly have, or which the person using the term believes that they do or should have.
(Citation: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
An instinct is the inborn behavior of a living organism that is not learned. Instincts are thought to occur as fixed action patterns. These fixed action patterns are unlearned and inherited.
(Citation: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
This is such a broad topic to a point where I am trying to argue whether or not we should use the word “Common sense” and have them incorporate under the word “Instinct”… hmmm, where do I start?
Let’s start by extracting their views on why common-sense should not be used or why and when they choose to use it.
Sense in the human understanding exists that sees commonality and does the combining
Human understanding/Human Intuition/Human Instincts: all are mental functions that our senses use, however you want to twist it and turn it.
Commonality: the sharing of common attributes or as the old English sayings, “do as the Romans do”.
Now let’s dissect this.
Human Nature, when you think of this, what comes to mind? Human Nature! Something that we are all born with/instincts, which puts us back to a conscious state of mind to feel and act the way all normal human beings have in common.
This is really a broad topic, but so far we see that all the Human understanding/Human Intuition/Human Instincts and “sense” is concomitant to “common” in our human lives as we grow with knowledge.
I see myself as a person who's going to leave a foot print in others life's journey for success
..................

Making a way through it all…

With every candle that’s lit

I'm burning a memory of what we shared in the dark

Shining a light where needed in my life

Starting a new path without turning around

P.S I Love you

Baby On Board…

A little business I founded in 2007, which was inspired by my sister who has 5 kids, I looked at their lil bam bams, and said I could make some money here. (laugh out loud) smile…

I was selling and delivering wipes and pampers all over ANU, it was the best thing I ever did with my life, now the power started, I wanted more…

Laying down and sharing my life with a good friend, he turned and said “With Power, Education is the Foundation!”
And that stayed with me for months and I told my self, “ I have accomplished this much before the age of 25 yrs, I could now take the back seat and go back to school cause I want that POWER! INDEPENCE! WALKING WITH MY HEAD UP FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS…

In all that, I want to be happy, straight smiles...

My Favorite Quotes

"Don't take no for and answer"...."Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy" –

"Today's dreams, Yesterdays regret is Tomorrows opportunity"...

"Becoming Real about Love, Work and My Body"...

A breakup is like a broken mirror...

You are better off leaving it broken rather than hurting yourself trying to fix it.

My Life - My Way...

I am Confident and Independent, but this attitude comes with the whole 9 yards. Drama, Tears, Lies and Deceit, Secret Affairs and Jealousy; Break ups and Make ups; Forgiving but never forgets. Moody with Beauty, Brains and Body.

'My Life' was is still about partying, dating and calling my own shots. Then I lost my power of confidence, and all I had was a pretty face and a regular 8-4 job. I wanted more and I deserved more! I love the social events and nightlife. When I drink, I become the Flirtatious Butterfly. You would think I'm a natural.

In a room where you have cute guys and Ms. O’Jay-Maria, know there’s double trouble. Nothing to be ashamed of I guess, why pretend to be something I'm not when everybody wants to be me!

Throughout life, I also learnt that falling in love is great and the break ups are even greater, it made me stronger. Loosing best friends helped me to appreciate the new ones. My greatest joy now is myself. I love me for who I am and what I do. I have been there, done that and now sharing my life experiences with that world...

Oh yes, I'm back to Ms. Confident and Ms. Independent! I have accomplished a lot and still moving forward. I tell people every day, its being content with yourself that counts, but only if you’re progressing in life. "Just balance life". At this moment my plate is full and I’m limited, so it's hard just trying to balance it.

O'Jay-Maria is about focusing on her goals…

I have Miguel R. Donawa and Noel T. Ramdass to thank, they have inspired me and still continue to do that. Thank you!

There are just some people in life you have to cherish and remember.
