Common sense is basically the ability to know things without having them told to you. Basically inferring what people are thinking without really needing to have punch you in the face. An example would be having a friend tell you that he likes someone and then while in class have him look at you and then at a girl. In there common sense would tell you that that is the girl he was talking about. Also if you hear someone else's stomach growl and the he leaves to eat, common sense tells you that he was hungry. It's an ability meant to help you understand others so that you can socialize better. You could say a vital ability for people who wish for society's praise.
How this is acquired or developed I don't know and it troubles me. After all even with people who have the same background as me I many times find myself around people who just don't get some things. Even after the third or fourth time that he or she is told the meaning some never get it.
