Common Sense

     Common sense helps us to live in a safe and reasonable way.  Most grownups have enough common sense to live in a safe way, but being reasonable is often distorted by emotions.  Sometimes it is easier to see how others are being unreasonable than to judge our own behavior.
     Common sense should be a guide to productive behavior and help us to accomplish our goals.  It should also helps us with relationships.  If an estrangement has occurred, we need to question if our behavior is blocking our common sense which can lead us beyond emotion toward forgiveness and reconciliation.
