So it's been a bit. School's started. Classes are crazy; 3 chems and 2 physics. So far the favorites are quantum and theory (physics), but the organic lab looks like its going to be fun - Ian, or Dr. Pottie I suppose, is pretty ok for lab. Jenni is going to make me die in BioChem tho. God I don't know why I'm in that course...
but that's not the point for the blog. It occurred to me tonight that some people simply lack all common sense. And by common sense I mean the real core basic stuff... Like, you don't swim in lightening, you don't leave your glass alone at a skeezy bar, you don't drink and drive. And smoking a joint while driving is just a dumb thing to do. Just because people 'do it all the time' doesn't make it ok dammit. People die all the time too. grrr. Beating people over the head with a 2x4 isn't the best way to make them listen is it? I don't understand how such good people can make such stupid decisions. Not to say I don't make stupid decisions some times, I've had my share of those, but I at least have some decent common sense.
"COMMON SENSE, med. jur. When a person possesses those perceptions, associations and judgments, in relation to persons and things, which agree with those of the generality of mankind, he is said to possess common sense. On the contrary, when a particular individual differs from the generality of persons in these respects, he is said not to have common sense, or not to be in his senses. 1 Chit. Med. Jur. 334."
"common sense - sound practical judgment "
SYNONYMS: admissibility, balance, due sense of, good sense, gumption, judgment, justifiability, justness, levelheadedness, logic, logicality, logicalness, plain sense, practical wisdom, practicality, rationality, reason, reasonableness, saneness, sanity, sense, sensibleness, sober-mindedness, soberness, sobriety, sound sense, soundness, wisdom
(just making sure everyone's on the same page with this common sense stuff) My favorite synonyms are logicality, sanity, reason, and wisdom... applicable?
so you love someone who keeps acting like a dumbass, you can't yell at them because it makes you sound 'holier-than-thou" and pisses them off (and makes you feel bad), and there's no sign of a sudden enlightenment of the value of life by this person. How the fuck are you supposed to deal? Let it slide? Somehow that doesn't seem to work. Be a bitch? Well I've mastered that I guess; doesn't make me all that happy tho. I don't know. I'm venting. *poof*
maybe I don't have all that great common sense, I cant figure my way through this one. Give me quantum mechanics over reality anyday. Life is too confusing.
