To grant world peace God makes you choose between being deaf and mute or blind

I know this is like a beauty pageant question but it does intrigue me..Let's say God tells you that he will finally grant world peace but in return you would be either deaf or blind, which would you choose? Would you rather be blind, feeling happy that everything is in its proper place..or would you rather be deaf and mute since there's no room for anger anymore?
If I were to choose, I would rather be blind.. Although you are blind, your other senses tend to become enhanced and more attuned to your surroundings. Slowly, you will be able to adapt to your surroundings. I would rather be blind knowing that the world is perfect already and still be able to praise the miracle God has provided.
Choosing to be deaf and mute may probably work too. Besides, expressing your gratitude and joy can be done in other ways. As they say, silence can also hold and invoke a lot of meanings.
Well, would you rather be blind or the latter for world peace?

Deaf. People can interact to me by sign language, I can bring my laptop everywhere to type what I want to say and let people do the same. I still want to see the world. I don't mind being deaf because I won't have to listen to people nagging at me anymore. Haha!

I would choose not to have world peace, because truth is, it's not possible. A lot of the wars we fight are for very good reasons. Not all of them, but most of them are. I think it's just something that's always going to happen. Some people are always going to think they're beliefs are right, and they'll take it to extremes. We can either sit back and let that happen, or we can fight them and make it stop.
So how exactly would we solve world peace? By taking away everyone's difference of opinion? So then we all think exactly alike? So what would be the point then if everyone thinks exactly alike? There'd be no point in Mylot, would there? No point in asking questions like "Would you rather be deaf or blind?" because we'd all have the same exact opinion.

I must admit, this is a hard question but I'm challenge by the way so I would like to comment on this..
Well maybe I'd rather choose to be mute because I would have nothing more to say if I can "see" in my own eyes that this world had indeed become a better place, and I'd be happy to "hear" people laughing and saying that this world has really become a better place to live in. Currently my deep concern is for world peace to become possible and if God really wills it but have to sacrifice one person I'd lovingly accept that mission just for all people because what matters most here in this world is that we have served others to the best that we can give.
