Position:Home>Philosophy> For a given sense, if you were about to lose it forever, what would be the last


Question: For a given sense, if you were about to lose it forever, what would be the last thing you'd want to perceive!?
For instance, with sight - what would be the one thing you would hope to see before losing your sight!? With hearing - what would be the last sound you'd want to hear before the world grew silent!? For smell, taste and touch, the same question - what would you choose to experience for each of these senses if that particular sense was about to be lost to you!? My answers will be in the comments after the question is resolved!. :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Sight: this is probably my most important sense, so so many things!. The smiles of people I love!. Bright blue autumn days!. My home!. Colour!. But probably, my journal!. It's my most precious possession!.
Smell: Things that remind me of my childhood!. My mother used to wear particular brands of perfume and they always take me back!. And also, we used to live on a road with a tarred telegraph pole!. In the summer, the tar would heat up and I loved that smell!. I still do!. My mothers face cream, and my fathers Polo!. Green!.
Sound: Laughter, a piece of music that I loved!. Running water!. Birdsong !.!.!. all the usual soppy stuff!. A happy conversation that I am not part of is incredibly reassuring to me !.!.!. it tells me that happiness is possible without me trying my utmost to create it (sounds kind of selfish, but I don't mean it like that)!.
Taste: Smoked salmon in lime juice and olive oil!. Its something I was fed a lot as a child (my parents used to be pretty well off) and we don't have anymore, but I loved it!.
Touch: I love touching things !.!.!. anything precious or beautiful, I feel as though I have to touch it!. Any materials - silk, cotton!. Glass, I love the touch of glass!. And smooth hot skin and cool bedlinen!. Thick paint!. Conkers and bark!.

There are so many things that I would miss!. It terrifies me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
