I believe: that common sense should be called uncommon sense now.

The use of common sense is virtually non-existent at this point in our lives and should be renamed uncommon sense. I have often been told that I am an 'old thinker' and view things with the perspective of someone who has been through many more years of life than I have, and thus is wise. However, I believe I just look at things in  a logical point of view, attempting to see all sides of the story, and then forming opinions. This contrasts to my fellow young primates who barely educate themselves and base their opinions on matters of like and dislike. Some people are just simply too stupid and ignorant to realize the mistake they are making upon their life. I believe you will never get anywhere in life unless you have common sense. If you have no common sense, you often make bad decisions: drinking, smoking, sex, drugs, illegal actions. However, those of us who actually step back and analyze situations and their consequences usually end up with a better outcome. People don't stop to think that their actions always come with consequences, whether they be good or bad. Also, that almost everything you do in life, in one way or another, affects someone else's life. Say you choose to call into work because you drank too much the night before - consequence: you get no money to pay the bills you owe, you have spent money on way too much alcohol, you feel disgustingly sick, and you have no idea where you are; affects: your manager now has to scramble to find someone to cover your shift, the person that covers said shift has to cancel all plans which may or may not be important. So the one small action of taking a drink of alcohol has now escalated into a massive mess of mishaps and mistakes that you cannot fix, unless you can time travel. Most people forget that you can't go back in time and change things, whatever you do is permanent. Your actions may be forgiven but the past is something that can never be forgot.
