Writer's Block: The state of perception
I thought this was a really interesting question to begin with.
And also to begin with, I wanna say that it would really suck to lose any of these. That said, I'd have to vote smell. I cannot live without sight. We simply rely on it too much. I would kill myself if I were to be forced to live without the beauty that is music. Being deaf would be pure torture for me. Living without cuddling would be just as bad. And living without the joy of eating is just.... unthinkable. So that leaves the sense of smell, which we occasionally lose when we get a really bad cold. Yeah it sucks- and it is the scent I rely on the least. I am choosing the lesser of all of these evils. But, losing any other sense would be... hell on earth.
