the "Can a person speak even this person is born deaf?. " topic gave me an idea for this ..

if you had to give up a sense, what would it be ?

think of tha difficulties .. and what you wouldn't be able to do without each sense ..


also, explain why would you give up that sense. Because without a particular sense, you could live life without it ? or that you want to put a challenge in your life and see what it's like ?



for me, i think i would give up taste , giving up being able to determine flavors .

without taste, i could eat foods that i think that taste bad, like some vegetables, and gett tha good nutrition. also, i wouldn't need to have a favorite food. i could eat anything [[ almost anything ]] i want and still be full !. I wouldn't have to worry about opening my cabinet, and find foods i don't like. i could just .. eat it .. and be full and be happy =] ..


i tried to search for another topic like this .. but it went to 25 pages .. and i couldn't search for "giving up a sense" .. i had to search "giving sense" .. "up" and "a" aren't long enough words ..


so what do you all think ?

I would either give up taste or smell but they both really coincide if you think about it so it might be hard to have one and not the other. Like, if you didn't have your sense of smell, things might not taste the same, or vice versa.
Anyway, I would give those up because I couldn't give up sight. I've already seen everything and how beautiful and how not beautiful things are and I would never want to live in darkness.
Also, I wouldn't give up hearing because I'm too in love with music and I'd miss hearing the voices of all the people I love and to hear laughter.
I couldn't give up touch because I mean what would be the point of touching something when everything would have the same texture and I don't know, it'd just be really weird. Plus, how would know if I was actually doing something because I wouldn't be able to feel myself touching it, like feeling the keys of the piano or something. Obviously you could hear it but I'm sure there are other instances I just can't think of right now. Oh, and not to sound all gross or something but some things you get pleasure out of it by the sense of touch like kissing someone, etc.
So yeah, I'd give up either taste or smell even though I really, really, really love food and how it tastes, but yeah.
