If you had to lose a sense (sight, taste, touch, hearing, smell), which would it be and why?

I’d want to lose my sense of hearing. Sight is much too precious, especially with such a beautiful world we have (what’s left anyway). I love food, so I can’t lose taste. I think it’s dangerous to lose touch because I wouldn’t know if my foot was on fire. Lastly, I love the smell of roses and the nostalgia when you smell something from your past. True, hearing is also a precious sense, but if I were forced to choose, that would be it.

What an interesting question. I suppose that, if I had to pick, I would choose smell. Like Maria said, sight is too precious to lose. It would also probably be the hardest sense to adjust to [by] losing it. I also love food and, although losing taste would probably help my eating cravings I just would be able to do it. I love food too much. Touch is very important to me as I am into natural horse.man.ship and thus greatly rely on my touch and, although I suppose that I would still be able to do what I do without it, it wouldn’t be the same. The same goes for hearing. I wouldn’t be able to live without hearing Penny or Elliott call to me from the field on my way to the barn. Smell is probably the only one I could live with losing.

Smell for Mari. Then maybe Mari wouldn’t float out to brownies every time they were freshly baked and scarf them. And actually, if you couldn’t smell, your sense of taste would be really weak, so Mari picked the double whammy.
Sight…is too precious to lose. And liking music (as well as your own voice), hearing is too precious to lose as well.
