As what I know, reality is the totality of the facts that defines the present and what has transpired from the past. This is limited on time passed or should I say on to what had happened and what has been happening. This doesn’t include the future.
On the other hand, common sense, as what I had understood, is our logical reasoning or response on events. I believe our common sense is greatly affected on the flow of events in our life or just simply our own realities. So by that, I came up with this in genius quote: reality should be our common sense. Sometimes, we lost track of what is the reality and get sucked up with all the dreamy ideals which shrouded our common sense. Thus, affects our better judgment on things.
When I say reality should be our common sense, it’s a way of saying aside from doing what we normally do; we also consider the present and the past facts in arriving decisions. Here’s an example. We normally clean the table after eating but not all people know what to do of the leftovers. So, you will probe to the one who owns the house and ask “where should this be” or “where should be that”. What you are actually doing is fitting on the reality of that household.
Common sense could not be a way of life. In a sense, that common sense is limited to “what we normally do…” kind of thing. And I guess, its boring to be like that. Our way of living evolves and we innovate tasks to do things at their best. Your common sense will tell you to clean the table if its dirty but you wont be able to realize to create an anti bacterial liquid/wash by that. Its common sense to be dressed formally in a fine dining set up restaurant but it won’t lead you to choose what color or kind of design of clothes to wear. What I am trying to say with this is that, common sense can not be a lifestyle but merely a part of it.
No man is limited to his reality. As one saying goes, we are only limited to what we think we are limited of. However, this is a different story if you put lifestyle here. Our lifestyle depends on what is reality. That’s basic fact. You can’t live like a fisherman when in reality you’re in the mountains raising crops. Absurd right? This is enough to make my point that our lifestyle is rooted up on our reality.
