" Common sense is not so common. "
- Voltaire
Humans tend to overcomplicate things with too much information. True understanding is when you can simplify the most complex things in life.
It can only happen when one can have common sense, that is viewing the world as it is and accepting it in its true form. We often complain about what we don't have or something is too hard to do, it's because our mind tends to overthink a situation. But we have the power to analyze and take charge of our decisions.
When we can apply knowledge in practical ways without any inner judgment, at that time we develop common sense.
That's why it's said common sense is not so common, because it's an art and not everybody is an artist.
