Writer's Block: The Expendable Sense(s)

[packbat]

If you had to give up one of your five senses, which could you live without? Submitted By newbiepoet View other answers

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.
