Status: offline 		Realizing the things your mom may have told you actually are in many cases very true: Look both ways before you cross the street, put a hat on! or you'll catch your death of a cold, etc.

I am a "dreamer" type and it's always nice if the other person has a bit of it to help me stay grounded I suppose (I think I do have common sense though).

*To me it sometimes relates to manners or inter-personal communication:
I mean, to me, it's obvious that if someone says: "Do these jeans make me look fat"? that in many cases one's answer should be: "Of course not" (no matter what one really thinks. Gosh, spare the other person a little angst if you do think they look fat, and also maybe hurt feelings)...Of course you might disagree, and to each his own. I know you are a Scorpio, KoM (and boy can you always count on them to tell it like it is, even if they do "have manners" -and sometimes: Ouch! (I am teasing)... 

I know some people who reeally just don't get the common sense as-it applies to interpersonal-communications thing (least I don't think so - and I am not trying to sound arrrogant) - sometimes with amusing and sad results.

Dreams are  the stuff of life, they make the grind bearable.

But when you get right down to it-it's the anchor of common sense that lets dreams take flight-and return to earth safely once more.

The artistry of this is, that we can bring to reality what we carry within. It takes a degree of bravery and determination to make other realities-rather than merely passively accept the ones we find ourselves within.

Some find a thrill in rigidity, and  the intensity of control. It may not always be there in force-we must live our day to day lives.

But it is there,lurking in the back ground-always.

"Common sense is the ability to look at things and figure them out without specialized knowledge or skill, but with experience and wisdom instead".

What a great definition.

I might add it is also (to me, almost every month) the ability to display knowledge of simple rules of etiquette: Every month I ask people in the dinner group I organize to let me know if
they are attending by date X (and X rarely changes; it's almost always the 2nd Friday of the month - that has very rarely changed in 11 years). And then - every month - there are at least 2-3 folks who show up and there are no chairs for them at the restaurant because I made a reservation for X number of people and then Y number show up. Then they get embarrassed (sometimes) and I scramble around finding extra seats (this can be very difficult if it is a popular restaurant). It would be easier if I knew all of them (but I don't and in many cases, never see them again). I am not going to stop organizing the group probably but am asking myself (again): Whatever happened to the rsvp? Doesn't anybody do that anymore?

Status: offline 		Common sense is acting in accordance with the circumstances.  A person with good common sense has such because there's also a high degree of intelligence present.  Most people mistake the word intelligent as being a synonym for "smart."  The more accurate synonym is "aware."  With this in mind, you can see how a person with high intelligence can display good common sense.  They see things as they are, devoid of interpretation, and therefore perform actions quickly, efficiently, and without error.

I fail to see how this would be interperted as common sense. Some of the most 'situation' aware people I know lack basic common sense ( police officers, fire fighters, EMT workers, the Military; and I mean no offense to those in these professions, just making a generalized example ).
From what you actually said, I would call that 'street smarts', not common sense.

Status: offline 		Being trained to have "situational awareness" like a police officer or paramedic is not the same awareness I'm refering to; hence, your observation that they can lack common sense in carrying out their duties.  Street smarts is a good example of common sense...so is the phrase "savvy to the situation."

Status: offline 		Street smarts get a bad (undeserved) rap from some people I think. They make them sound so tough or something (like if you possessed them you'd be a gangster). Aren't they also just simple "survival skills"?
