Your MOM makes sense! SNAP, yo!
I'm sorry, that was completely uncalled for.

Just about anything can be sensible for the sender of a message that is not for the recipient, if things are assumed in the sender that are not assumed in the recipient. For example, to me discussions of magic make sense, because I have a definition of magic that exists in the natural world and does not mean something that goes against nature. But if you were defining "magic" as something which is either illusion and slight-of-hand or simply a lie, then the sense to what I say about magic will not get through to you.
It is amazing how often people misunderstand simply because they do not share a common definition of some word that they both assume they understand, and both probably assume they have in common. Almost any word can be like that, but there are some very intense ones: try "patriot" for an example.

Our sense in what our intelligence tell us, our reasoning. There are many points of view and ways of thinking and that is what makes this world such a wonderful place to live. There was a past president back in the first half of the last century that though that the patent office should be closed as he did not think there was anything else that could be invented. If we all had the sense he had there would have been no more technology. That would have meant no color TV, CD players, computers, advances in medicine.....

To understand a person's actions we have to understand their core beliefs, values, goals, needs, principles, life commandments, and world view. This "heart" of the person is both concisious and subconciious. But it is this heart that rules their thinking and their actions. Once we understand these aspects of a person then what they do "makes sense" in that they will logically and consistently operate on a daily basis on this program. Now this program can have "viruses" in it and can even have contradictory elements within in making the person feel unstable. But once these have been identified the person can at least understand the root of their inward instability and what seems to be inconsistency. So people do make "sense" and they operate logically. Now the real question is if thre is one set of values that more represents the objective world outside of me and therefore should be adopted by everyone because it is the TRUTH? I believe that there is and that we only make "sense" to reality when our subjective world view matches the objective realtiy of the world.
