Common sense is the the ability to use good judgement. Separate from specific knowledge or training, it is our innate intelligence. Some people have great common sense even if they lack formal education, whereas others have completed extensive studies yet still have no common sense. This natural logic allows us to infer solutions to problems using the relevant information we are given. Without common sense, making decisions and solving simple issues would more challenging than it is with a wealth of ingrained sensibility.
Often when people lack common sense, it is due to their own insecurities. They don’t trust themselves to be able to make choices based on their own opinions or intuition. These people look for resources to give them answers instead of using reasoning to come to a concrete conclusion. In order to practice good common sense, one only needs to be aware enough to perceive given information and use the facts to ascertain understanding and then act appropriately.
What happens when you know something is hot? Your common sense tells you that the thing is hot and if you touch it, you will burn yourself. You probably learned this very early in life by curiously touching something hot and feeling the burning of the heat. Now, you recognize the fact that something is hot and there will be repercussions if you touch it. You use that information to make a wise decision not to touch the hot object, and you do not get burned. This type of rationalization extends into many circumstances of life.
