The Seven Senses and our safety

Interestingly, we have been taught that we humans have 5 senses. This of course, in my opinion, refers to the 5 basic senses that we all possess. These are the ability to see, to hear, to smell, to feel, and to taste. The human body has been created with sensory receptors that permit us to sense what's happening around us. These senses are our watchdogs that look out for us wherever we are 24 hours a day and serve as our personal security mechanisms to alert us of what's going on around us. But they're not the only ones. We also have 2 more senses that are subtly at work on our behalf: intuition and common sense. When the other 5 senses fail to detect what's happening, any one of these 2 may kick in and do the job of alerting us. Intuition works like a little voice inside of us that tells us what's going on, or what is. Without any prior knowledge or information, that little inner voice speaks to us and, because of it we know what is. The other sense is what people generally refer to as common sense. According to Cambridge Dictionary online, common sense is "the basic level of practical knowledge and judgement that we all need to help us live in a reasonable and safe way." So, while intuition is a sense that functions at the subconcious level, common sense functions at the concious level. With it, we are able to make sound decisions based on the knowledge and experience we have, and these decisions may sometimes serve to protect us or to put us on guard for our own safety. Of course, they also help us to decide what to do in certain situations that we encounter in life. All seven senses form part of the human experience and are necessary for our survival: physically, psychologically, emotionally, socially, etc. Some people have one or more of these senses more active and more functional than others. So one person may smell something that another may not be able to perceive in a particular environment. Or one person's intuition may lead him or her to correctly detect what's happening, whereas another in the same circumstance may not be able to discover that. In any case, this just goes to show why as humans we need each other. So if my senses fail to function at some particular time, the other person's senses may alert him or her to what's happening, and they just communicate that to the other(s) wnich can help us all to be safe or to take precautionary measures to be safe.
