The doctrine of common sense

The "common sense" believes denouncing the unhappiness of the poor and the happiness of the rich, end distributive injustice.

If someone said that being rich is more painful than to be poor, some red light would flash on our common sense.

The "common sense" is the doctrine that:

- The circumstances of life are as we have ever seen;

- The common philosophy is the only true;

- The truth is obvious.

DRAE Meanwhile, not to be outdone, has its own definition of "common sense" (1) stating that it is the "way of thinking and would proceed as the generality of people."

Whatever the definition of "common sense", I would be inclined to think that is the point of view that preserves the circumstances such as they are, without questioning how they could be better (even when fiercely criticizes), much less encouraged to propose other views that depart from what is always said about each topic.

For these reasons, I reaffirm what I said above: would virtually prohibited by the "common sense" to suggest that being rich is more painful than being poor. Would be prohibited because the doctrine of "common sense" says the opposite: the rich are happy and the poor are unhappy.

Biempensante population (the most faithful to the "common sense"), could perhaps assume that this diagnosis of happiness and unhappiness is consolidating the unjust distribution of wealth? No, of course not.

The population biempensante, slave of "common sense":

- Bury believes that unhappiness of the poor is to do everything possible to alleviate this painful condition, and also

- Is convinced that happiness denouncing the rich, this will be enough to return and be ashamed of what they have more.
