Confused
(Common) Sense grows in every person differently; gradient of growth depends on person’s effort to use it. This gradient varies from negative to positive thru zero. We must fight/struggle for our independence of applying our senses and common senses which are often submerged in information and knowledge or look alike. Let me repeat we get confused with lots of lots of knowledge and huge information and fail to use common sense or afraid of apply it in solving life problems. True often our senses elude us when knowledge and common senses do not coincide.
Is there any sense in above two paragraphs? Please help.
Ignorance stems from a self-centered personality, and most people are self-centered. My friend Hiralal can also be self-centered, but he has a sense of humor which most people lack, and the ability to use it. Common sense is also a rare quality, and rarely applied to relationships. But both common sense and humor should be highly prized, because building good relationships demands both a sense of humor and the liberal use common sense.
Having a sense of humor allows a person to emit sympathy and empathy. Common sense dictates boundaries - the amount of love and sacrifice necessary to forge solid bonds between people.
In any language, the wisest commandment is "Know Thyself." True insight is limitless, and science exists for knowledge. But to truly know a person requires constant re-evaluation, because human truth is constantly evolving, and what is true at one point may become false.
Common sense evolves in each of us differently, the level of growth determined primarily by the efforts expended by a person to use it. We must struggle to apply sense and common sense to our relationships with others, rather than allowing them to be confused, submerged in stereotypes and false information. We can be overwhelmed with the sheer volume of information we absorb, and fail to use what common sense we have in solving life's problems, either from ignorance or fear. Too often our logic fails us when the information we've absorbed fails to coincide with the values we've learned through common sense.
Is that the jist?
And my paragraphs are somewhat stilted as well, as a rewrite. But I hope it helps.
