What's the matter with common sense? Is it too common, too unspicy, too un-grand when compared to my ornate view of myself? What's the matter with common sense?
If you stick your finger in the candle flame, it will hurt.
Common sense.
If you don't look where you're going, you'll step in dog shit.
Common sense.
If you hurt someone, they are likely to hurt you back.
Common sense.
All things change.
Common sense.
But somehow common sense is not compelling enough, attention-getting enough. It's too d'oh! And so, as a means of keeping the attention on what is just common sense, we create choirs of angels and vast philosophies as a means of finding some peace.
And what happens when the vast philosophies and ringing religions are brought home and plugged in? Well, it's nothing but dog shit and burnt fingers.
What's the matter with common sense?
