If you had to give up any one of your senses, which would it be and why? Which sense are you the most scared of losing?

My ‘6th sense’ I would love to be rid of the dreams, I don’t have regular dreams as a result of my life of horrifying dreams (yes some came true) The one sense I am feared of loosing is my sight, I burned my eyes as a young man to the point of only seing a grey fog for three months, my sight slowly came back and has always given me stress, these days a double vision is always present, those blue lights can be shoved up the drivers…*#@$$%…. Some days Sunlight is tough and dark nights and driving pose a lifelong challenge.

I would have to say that it would be my vision. I realize that if I were to lose my vision my other senses would likely become more acute, but just the thought of not seeing anything, from the most spectacular to the most mundane, scares me. My brain tends to be very visual in the way that it processes data.

I fear that a lot of my intuitiveness would be compromised if I were to suffer the loss of my sight.

I'd hate to lose my sense of smell/taste, but I think it's probably one of the more useless senses and I could easily live without it. I'd be very scared to lose my sight or hearing. I think I'd probably rather lose my hearing over my sight, though both would be a huge blow to me.

I like learning languages, and I pride myself on being able to understand the subtlety of sounds - so being deaf would be such an awful loss for me. However, I do like apartment complexes that are practically silent, so in that case I could live anywhere I wanted and noise wouldn't bother me! Sight, though... sight would be extremely bad for me to lose.

I spend a lot of my time online, it's how I connect with most people in my life, and to lose that connection would be horrible. I also couldn't do any more artwork, so I'd lose that. Watching TV would be useless.

Everything would just kind of disintegrate, I think. I wouldn't mind having to listen to audiobooks, or learn to read Braille, but I think that would be the only creative joy left in my life. Even music I wouldn't be able to do anymore as I wouldn't be able to read the notes.

I think smell would be the easiest sense to lose. I think it would be the one that has the least detrimental effect on your everyday life and in keeping you safe and leading a normal life.

I agree with bklynj.....smell could be the first to go. I would miss the smell of food cooking, and fresh laundry but I could still see it, taste it and touch it. There are so many other things I would miss more.

And in the world the way it is, there are many things I would rather not smell. I never thought my sense of smell was all that great to begin with. I would not want to lose my sight.

First I am already a very cautious person, but not able to see? I would go insane. I have so many things and places that I want to see.....that would be so very devastating for me.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
