400 Go Beyond Common Sense

“Go Beyond Common Sense”

Einstein said,
“Common sense is the collection of prejudices
Acquired by the age of 18.”
He pointed out that common sense is not the same as truth.

Ordinary people are obsessed with common sense and bound by it.
It seems as if time has stopped.
Common sense is not inconvenient for ordinary life,
But nothing new originates from common sense.

Children receive compulsory education,
Enter good universities in search of good jobs.
When they fall ill, they go to the hospital,
Listen to what the doctor says,
Get medicine and take it.
They live their lives without question, trusting common sense.
Is this really a good way to live?

Everything has a cause and an effect.
But to see beyond cause and effect is to grasp the truth.
Think about it carefully and deeply.

Beyond common sense,
There are keys to solving problems and new developments.
In these times of deadlock,
Common sense, which is also a legacy of the past, is the bottleneck.

Come on! Go beyond common sense, do not be bound it.
A new era is beginning. 

「常識を超えろ」

アインシュタインは言った
「常識とは18歳までに身につけた
偏見のコレクションのことをいう」と
常識は真理とは異なると指摘したのだ

凡人は常識に拘り常識に縛られている
時間が停止しているかのようでもある
常識は普通の生活を送る上で不都合はないが
常識から新しいものは生まれない

子供は義務教育を受け
良い就職先を求めて良い大学に入る
病気になれば病院に行き
医者の言うことを素直に聞き
薬をもらって飲む
疑問も持たずに常識を信じて生きる
果たしてそれでいいのか

物事には原因があり結果がある
因果を見抜くことこそ真理に叶っている
よくよく深く考えることだ

常識を超えたところに
問題解決の鍵があり新しい展開がある
行き詰まった時代だからこそ
過去の遺産でもある常識がボトルネックになる

さあ! 常識に囚われず常識を超えよ
新しい時代が始まっている
