Weird Topic: Common sense

Common sense is a weird thing, isn't it? It's weird because common sense has no true meaning. How is this true?

Think of it like this. What would you think about drinking poison? You'd probably say: "are you nuts? Poison is obviously bad for you!" But, what would a different animal think about this? They'd probably say "Well, duh, poison for humans=paradise!". This is because while people think poison is bad for themselves, it's good for other animals. Common sense is basically something that a half-crazed person thought of, something that grew and grew until people thought that it was the right thing to do. Common sense is actually related to your opinion. Even if you think that common sense is always the right thing, it's actually not as simple as you think.

Basically, what is common sense?
