Why was common sense document important?
it lets you interpret others and your surroundings without having to have someone tell you a lie about the world
A: common sense is important, because otherwise the person without common sense would be in a completely different reality that the average joe that HAS common sense. If the guy without it thought that he could fly off of a building, while common sense (common knowledge and belief in society) says that hey can't, then the guy without common sense is in a world of hurt when he jumps off the building.... It's important to have it for your own safety in society to get along with others, as well as allowing you to function at a "normal" level with everyone else that is in that society. You could easily be taken advantage of or even die without it (in an extreme case of course).
