Common Sense Can't Be Faked

 

 

Debbie’s Right Truth blog has something extra-special posted worthy of any reader who desires to become a deep, well-rounded, common sense person. The exclusive piece is by R. J. Godlewski.

 

Here’s a snippet:

 

When ancient mariners had dealt with storms as a fact of life, today we cry “My God! We’ve had two Category Five hurricanes reach landfall in the same season! It must be global warming at work!” It is our ignorance that fails to consider that we haven’t been around nearly as long as it takes to fully understand what is considered normal to nature. In our haste to achieve convenience, we even tend to forget what is considered ‘normal’ for us humans. When our ancestors fought wars that raged for decades, even centuries, and endured millions of casualties to ensure that peace was the ultimate goal, we pull out our trusty political remote and say “I’m bored already. ..."

 

Check out Right Truth for the rest of it. And let it sink in.

Thanks for the plug. I'm very lucky to have a few professional writers who give me an exclusive now and then. This one is particularly good.

Thanks again.

Godlewski really does do a great job of discussing common sense in common sense terms. Thanks for sharing that with us.
