common sense & social common sense

The difference bet. common sense and social common sense is hostorical one; that shows how serious we are about ourselves. Read on...

for common sense:
Q/1; Gaiya kyaa detii hai?
A. Gaiya duth detii hai.

for social common sense:
Q/2. Kyaa Gaiya suchmuch dudh detii hai?
A. Nahii, Hum un-kaa dudh chhin lete hain;Gaiya ka dudh un-ke bachhadeke liye hota hai hamaare bachon'ne liye nahi.
Q/3. Kyaa gaiya hamare ghat aakar kahatii hai kin mere paas bhut dudhhai. Aap thoda le sakhate?
A.Nahi.Hum use Kheen-chke laate hai and dudh nikaal lete hai.

Expl:
We are under gross influence of pre-formulated language, we are taught from childhood onwards and we keep them using without straining our brains and that results in accumulated common sense.The same C/S is percolated in Q/A format for centuries without any change until a new Q. is raised as to the truth worthiness of the Q/A set or doctrinated in our thought process as seen in this dialogue.Since we are social beings besides human beings, we are expected to have a quest and taste for new questions/problems/issues which are in main , social one in form and content.If we take cognizance of them , it helps us lead towards real questions at a social level.This is where we learn to upgrade ourselves from common sense to social common sense .In other words, it brings us down to our real senses and we prepare ourselves to look into and towards the truth surrounded by myths by means of languages/uses as a weapon against our own consciousness.
