The Wisdom of our Ancestors: Wisdom from a forgotten era

There is an extreme shortage of common sense in today's world, When looking back in history, I soon discovered this has always been a problem, Benjamin Franklin once said, "Of all the senses, common sense seems to be the one that is used the least." As obvious as it may seem, many seem to be totally oblivious to it. Most, if not all of the problems the world faces today could be solved if people would just sit back and think about what would seem to be the most obvious and simple solution to any issue. Often times people tend to overcomplicate the issues. I often think back to what my parents and grandparents believed and said, at the time I thought they were totally out of their mind and ignored it. I now wish I would have listened and followed their advice. It is now evident they were a lot smarter than we gave them credit for. Many times, in today's world, the schools and universities can no longer be counted on to teach truth and values that will guide someone through life.
