Which do you think would be easier to cope with?

Being Deaf or Blind? to go blind having once been able to see i think would be very frustrating as you could still picture things as they once were. If however you had always been blind it would be a way of life and something that you have just learnt to cope with. To be deaf however I dont think I could imagine living a life of silence.

Do you have children? I love my boys, but sometimes I just want silence. I think that I would rather be deaf, for I could still communicate, see without assistance, and learn a new language. Good question, keep them coming!

I wish no one ever had to experience this. I also can not imagine what it would be like. I'd rather be deaf than blind personally. My mom is loosing her sight and I can't imagine her not being able to see her grandchildren and how they change. I think this world is a beautiful place and would miss the sunsets, leaves changing colors, and the expresions on peoples faces when I make them laugh.

I cant really imagine how my life will be whether if i am blind or deaf.I really pity those who faced this.They are unlucky and i feel sorry for them.Thank god i am normal.Some of them cant see the beautiful world since the day they were born.Nothing is easy to cope up for me especially when someone is blind or deaf.To cope up,strenght and patient of one is needed.Those who still continue their life normally although they are blind or deaf is strong and i surely cant be as strong as them if i were them.
