How to apply common sense to just about anything …
There is no doubt in my mind that as time ticks by the world is becoming a crazier place in so many ways. Whilst there has always been poverty, wars and disease we are seeing new often higher tech issues that are impacting on our lives and not in a good way. Unlike the high profile issues I have highlighted, the new attacks on our live styles and well being come hidden under the banner of progress.
I bet there are few people in the western world now, that haven’t had reason to get annoyed with an automated phone system, or a piece of local government red tape that they suddenly find impacting on their lives. So why is that big companies think their customers are happy lost in a telephonic abyss when all they want to do is discuss their issue with another human, why is it local government bury even the simplest of tasks under a mountain of red tape? The answer is a total lack of common sense.
Whilst we could argue for literally hours on when and why exactly common sense is draining from humanity, and indeed how to go about repairing the damage cause, the bottom line is, it’s happening. There is though a way back we can all collectively work on, a reintroduction of common sense to our society, it’s simple really, we all just need to pause for a moment and think things through before taking action.
So no matter what your job, or your standing in life, before you take action of any sort, just pause for a moment, think things through, consider what results your actions might have. If we all did this more often than not, there is no doubt in my mind, the world would be a better place.
