Limits of common sense

 By Dragoş Vasile on November 23 ^rd  2009

 There are common sense limits. For instance, if someone is really making you angry you may say in his face "get lost", despite of the discussion atmosphere. This could be a common sense's upper limits. These may come in a moment when any kind of a decent education reflex, any self imposed calm practiced for a long time in proper environment, are surpassed by a mean reality, violent and sometimes, exasperating in its insistence. The common sense limits are perfectly justified. The same with the lower limits. This can be identified with something like the time you're wasting trying to help an elder at a queue or when you're offering to carry an old lady bags, hopping you're help will be refused. Anyway, you are making the necessary manoeuvre if there is no unexpected involved to save you. So, you stay in the common sense limits, even though your behind reached the lower limits. Well, behind those limits is occurring the endless universe of total lack of common sense. This has no limits, endeed. It's something so fascinating. Behind the narrow common sense area, is revealing an endless lack of common sense horizon. About the fascination that lack of common sense brings in everybody's day to day life you just can't speak about it. More suggestive is the cast, when a person's wits come into contact with this lack of common sense. Is like naturally, but all so sudden and always so unexpected, I don't know how to describe it, like a rain of stars ... or else! As the rain of stars is a cosmic phenomenon much more rare than the lack of common sense may offer you. It is like a red sunset. Common image compared with the surprise, innerfeeling that the lack of common sense is inducing. It is like, when there is a sunny day, filled with rays of sun, and suddenly, from various reasons that have nothing to do with your person, through some celestial tools, that one can't entirely elucidate, so in such a day, when the sun shinning is overbearing, a breeze is rising, that is like a thrill and is presaging through all your pores and you fill on your finger tips the wildness that will come upon. The sky is getting dark and the storm is rising! You run to take cover although you'd like to stay in the middle of it, to confront it even you get soggy, to feel like you're alive, to have something to tell, even there is just one important memory. Inspite of that, most of the common sense people, are weaseling out somewhere else, under an umbrella or a roof, the nearest one, even though is a totally strange one. The lack of common sense is always surprising, it can never be enough explored because it is a continuous expanding universe. It has dark holes, antimatter spaces where you can't come close as you may physically vanish, it has several galaxy, some light-years far away, some of them that we are part of, with suns around we are rotating, at work, on stairs or even further, rising at TV or in the newspapers, the lack of common sense universe has phenomena that although are repeating periodically, are unique on everytime and rising heartstrings always new to common eyes: the comets! The comets of lack of common sense are events that, while watching them live, are really rare in a common sense person's life, that can share among his acquitances. How can you tell  about those fractions of a second that are crossing your eye everyday like a thrill?! How to be able to duplicate a politician's speech??!! How can you share the emotion that you may feel at the announcing of a Prime Minister? ... Well noooo, all of these are regarding of metaphysics wisdom. The total lack of common sense is that inexorable all around, is the no limits freedom, that is putting you on dependency, it has no limits, you can tread on air whenever you want, you can do what you wish, once you break through these common sense limits, the lack of common sense is always interesting, creative with no bounds a first class perpetuum-mobile, that is multiplying itself. You can walk from a lack of common sense to another beyond any imagined limits of human soul.

Yes. But this is not for everybody. It is not for limited people like me or, I beg your pardon!, like you. For something like that you need a certain genius of playing it cool towards every day worries, towards imminent human hopeless. So, render to the Caesar what belongs to the Caesar.

Even though we got nothing left to do.
