Writer's Block: The state of perception
I think I would be willing to give up taste. I am cheating as I answer
this because I have already lost about 40% of my taste buds due to nerve
damage 10 years ago. I miss it but I don't miss it all the time. I miss
it when I eat. During the rest of the day, I don't really notice it. I
am aware that it is missing and that feels odd. However, the other
senses are ones I rely upon all day long and I woul miss them more than
taste. Also, my sense of smell is more acute because my sense of taste
is diminished.
