There was a time in life when I was needy. That time was waning, but still existing, even somewhat recently. A drop down over the years, a flare up for a bit, and now at a point of near nullification. Near, of course, not completely. Different, at least.
Maybe it's because it's winter, but all of a sudden I'm dealing with such emotions being sent my way from a few different people. I remember what it's like, so I try to communicate... and yet, I don't understand it anymore. I guess because I see how not to be, so suddenly it all seems like common sense.
Common sense, what a term.
People say that term as if it means one thing universally to all people. But common sense is dictated by experience, surrounding/environment and so forth. Common sense in one part of the world is worthless in another. Common sense means different things at different ages. Where the focus of any individual common sense points is subjective to each individual and what they perceive as the most important application.
What if your common sense is not what is commonly held?
Might it then simply be sense? ;)
