Sure Ways to Lose Your Common Sense
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

As someone said, there's nothing common about common sense. Roughly equivalent to Emotional Intelligence. Whether or not we're all born with it and then lose it, or aren't born with it and have to acquire it, it's not something you can get from book learning. You have to expose yourself to new ideas, new people and situations, and have the set of competencies which allows you to react effectively with reality.

Here are ten sure ways to lose it:

1. Lose the common touch.

Have more money than common sense (or taste). Use your money to buy your way out of problems and to avoid those nasty mutual obligations and responsibilities that come with real relationships. Quit asking your friends over to help you paint your house - pay a painter. Quit going over there to help them paint theirs - just send a check. You can do that for war relief, poverty, homelessness and anything else that "bothers" you!

(P.S. Don't take your friends out on your boat, either; there are possible liabilities involved.)

In the workplace, maintain a strict line between salaried and non-salaried personnel. Don't interact with those "above" or "below" you to find out what they know you don't know.

2. Don't get your hands dirty.

Children, dogs, your lawn or garden, real cooking and baking, your house, even your spouse ... it can all get pretty messy. No need to "touch" things you don't need to. Get in your ivory tower and stay there. Deal with it idealistically and theoretically. Read about it. Assign it to others. Don't test your thoughts and feelings against new realities.

3. Use your power to isolate yourself.

Intimidate others so they no longer speak the truth to you or around you. Consensual validation is part of reality-testing. Lose the "consensus" and you lose reality. If you work it right, you can arrange to hear only what you want to hear and already believe to be true.

4. Establish artificial connections; it's much safer.

Pay a 3rd party (like a collusionary therapist or social worker) to listen to you talk about your work and relationship problems instead of talking with the real people involved and yanking and pulling in the warp and woof of actual living. Paint it all through your eyes only.

Clergy, doctors and coaches could also be used; anyone who will encourage you to keep thinking and keep getting "insights, " but not change, take action, and try something new. Just be sure you don't make any changes or take any action. Contemplation is one thing. Taking action involves risk, involves changing. Whoa!

I can't seem to bring myself to say, "Well, I guess I'll be toddling along." It isn't that I can't toddle. It's that I can't guess I'll toddle.
