Common sense discussions about light seem really common stupidity discussions. Every honest scientist would tell you both quantum theories on light and relativistic ones defy commnon (i.e., Newtonian) sense on the subject.
Newtonian physics is taught mainly in highschool and makes no real attempt at an explanation of light. I think you'll find, if you study a bit further, that it gets a wee bit more complicated and weird than the classical 19th century view of physics. I doubt that any 'common sense discussion' would result in any real understanding of light, the ideas are quite complex. Perhaps you should study a bit further.
