No, someone taught you that - even if only by example. You don't *know* fire burns til it happens or you see it happen. Humans do come with an empathy clue (the ability to project oneself into another's shoes) though it gets squashed during development in some cases. "Common sense" really equals "innate wiring" and humans come in remarkably low on that measurement in comparison with most other species.
