The age-old question: If you had to choose, would you rather be deaf or blind?


As a child, I would sometimes close my eyes and stumble around the house, arms outstretched, trying to understand what it felt like to be blind. Other times, during a movie or parade, I would cover my ears tight, trying to not hear anything so I might feel the way a deaf person would.

indeed, this is very much an age-old question that i belive generations have pondered over... to pretty much no avail...this is predominantly because we have a quasi-infactuation with the unknown and in having this attraction we attempt to feel and see (no pun intended) what people feel when, alas, we cannot. However when we "put ourselves in their shoes", rather than thinkiubg about how it is for them and even, if any, the benefits of their cause - we tend to think about the phenomena's they would be missing; colours and sounds. in ebing in a band, i couldn't even imagine being deaf however in saying this being blind isn't a feature i would pitch my stakes in. ultimately i think these are feeling that can never truy be encompassed by those among us that are "normal", as it is.
