Common Sense Society

Social Entrepreneurism could be the way ahead for society and it comes in where the state fails.

The world will always need common sense, but it needs courage to set up a society for it. I was in Budapest and thought of catching up with Anna Stumpf, a Washington educated International Relations expert.

The moment I stepped in Budapest I started looking around for what really drove this 25 year old social entrepreneur to create this movement. Bucharest was cleaner compared to Bucharest and Hungarians are considered to have a disciplining influence on the Transylvania region. Maybe it was wee hours of the morning, but I could not miss the few beggars, systematic searching through garbage boxes.

Beggars are a part of the modern metro. The richer an economic zone gets, the more sketchable the street guy gets. You just can’t avoid them wherever you go. But it may need common sense to think how the country should take care of its beggars? I had already started asking questions knowing that common sense was about creativity and creativity came from asking a lot of questions. Why was Anna not working on a creativity or green society but common sense society? And seeing bicycle lanes around Danube covered with active bikers from all ages, I really started to wonder how much sense did Hungary need anyway? Was common sense total, could becoming smarter in day to day life save Hungary from another debt crisis next time around? Was it a social purpose or was it her social purpose?
