If you could only keep one of your senses which one would it be?

I would keep my sight as I think it is the most important one. If you shut your eyes for a while, that is what it would be like to be blind. It must be horrible not to be able to see all the lovely things in this world. Which one would you keep and which one do you think is your most important sense? They say that animals have a 6th sense, have any of you got the 6th sense?

I'd also keep my sight, as I don't know how people get through life without it, it must be awful. Losing hearing would also be awful but you could still communicate, losing touch would be really strange, but again you could function, losing taste would be a bummer, as you'd have to rely on memory for how your favourite things tasted (assuming you lost it and weren't born without it). Not being able to smell would be strange as well, but as this is rife in the females in my husbands side of the family I know that this is not too debilitating, in fact in certain circumstances, it may be a blessing!

My friend has no sense of smell.she had something wrong with her when she was younger and it severed the nerve?? It also means that her taste is very weak as well.It doesn't really bother her though, except when people give her perfume for her birthday

It would be sight for me too....It would be horrible not to see. It would be closely followed by hearing though....couldnt imagine not being able to listen to music for the rest of my life.
