"常识并不那么常见"

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, what seems like basic, obvious knowledge is not understood or followed by everyone. Take, for example, the idea that if you see a "Wet Floor" sign, you should walk carefully to avoid slipping. You might think this is something everyone would know to do, right? But surprisingly, some people will still rush or ignore the sign and end up falling. This shows that common sense, which we expect everyone to have and use, is not actually that common. It’s important to remember that just because something seems simple and clear to you, doesn't mean everyone will see it the same way. Reflecting on this, you can make sure to communicate clearly with others and not take for granted that what is obvious to you will be obvious to them.
