If you had to give up one of your five senses, which could you live without?

Assuming that the question refers to the five Aristotelian senses - sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste...

...I think I would have to go with sight. Hearing would be a less inconvenient disability, but to lose music? I cannot bear the thought.

crazy boy!
sight would be horrible to live without. I understand your love for music... but there's something about being able to see the musican play or sing a song they have written. when you know the words really mean something to them. I think that's just as important sometimes as being able to hear the laughter, joy or pain in their lyrics. Plus I do love to read. Although being read to is a joy of mine also. If I were to answer this writers block (and i guess that i will now) I'd have to go with smell or taste.

I am in complete accord. It's kind of unthinkable, not being able to listen to music. If I go deaf when I'm old, I will just have to off myself.

Wow, really? Out of the basic five I'd go for taste.

I agree! I would much rather be blind than deaf. Music is my life and to lose that would mean there was little hope for me.
