In class today, along with what happened yesterday, we came across the subject of common
sense and to what extent are certain issues actually common sense. Like it IS common sense to know not to touch a hot pan on the stove. I feel like it is also common sense not to ask a stranger or someone that you aren't close with, who they voted for or what their salary is.
I feel like if someone is lacking common sense, it's more towards the sense part rather than the 'common' i guess.
One of my best friends has NO common sense but she is very thoughtful and understands right from wrong. She just, at the time, doesn't think much of the 'sense'. In class, Mr. Allen talked about how there is two parts of common sense like the sense part and the other part, which I have never really thought about before. I just felt like since it's 'common' then everyone should have it, although I knew a lot of people didn't/don't.
Also, today we were talking about the ideas and beliefs of Plato and Darwin, and how they would intertwine. And I don't know much about Plato and his beliefs, but what I found out today was actually really cool. Plato feels as if we, now are the shadows of the realm above us. We are not the reality, but what is above us with all the ideals and materials, they are reality. Just even typing it seems strange to me to think the possibility of it. But what I can't seem to wrap my head around is the thought of afterlife. I'm not religious and I can't even begin to comprehend the thoughts of an 'afterlife'.
I now have the tools to look forward and think more about this. I now want to look into religions of all types just to learn more about them. Give me more knowledge about religions that I have either never heard of or, know little about. Opening of new doors for my life in experiences.
