Living without seeing, hearing, speaking, or walking

These questions are really tough. I think that giving up my sight would be the hardest, and actually by far I think. You get hindered in so many ways and you would miss out on so much. I think id rather lose my ability to speak than hearing as people like to talk more than listening so you would get pretty popular I guess :)

The easiest to give up would be the ablility to walk. With wheel chairs now that run with the push of a button. It wouldn't be fun since I love going outside but that is still the easiest to lose. The hardest would be my sight. With having two small children, it would kill me not being able to see them grow up. Hearing isn't that bad to lose either, it would be a lot quieter. My grandmother has a hard time hearing and she wouldn't care less. She always says, it's nice not being able to hear all the bad stuff that's going on in this world.

Well that is a hard question. I would never want to lose my eyesight..so I would have to say that would be the hardest. Then for the second question..I would have to say..I would not want to lose my hearing or not be able to walk..however..I think I would rather be able to walk..so I think I would pick that...I wish you the best...

The easiest thing would be hearing and the hardest is seeing. I too can not imagine living without seeing or being dependent on someone else for my sight. It would be very hard.

I've always said that if i was to be unable to see that would be the hardest thing for me. I think each have bad aspects but if you can't see then the worlds a even darker place and with the loss of hearing it isn't really much of a problem for me. Walking is just the same. I'd be able to manage pushing myself and live. all three would make life pretty much hell for someone who active. It's a shame science isn't coming closer to helping these who might lose 'em. (although they're getting better) Just my opinion. Kudos! ~Joey

Men with sight and hearing are not able to undertand these pain.but the pupil without the sight have the much imaginary power than the man have sight.the man with sight looks only the world as it is.but the blind looks the world how he likes.

Wow good question. I can remember being younger and me and my friends would always discuss things like this. I guess it all really depends for me if it happened at birth. What I mean is if your born deaf,blind or cant walk you really dont know what your missing but if you mean if I had to choose now it would be a hard pick. So in my eyes I figure the easiest thing to give up would be speech, that way you can still walk and manouver on your own and still see and hear music and so. I think the hardest for me would be giving up my sight. It would be so bad not being able to see everyone around you and their facial expressions. I like most people rely on my sight and dont ever want to be completly blind. Losing the ability to walk woulb be bad but not as so for me because I would always find a way to get around no matter what. I just feel like all those who can see and walk and hear dont know how really bless they are but I never take for granted what has been giving to me.

really it so hard to answer this for I am a mother of a blind child, supposedly I will not answer this but I learned that you are a writer so you might help me as well with my advocacy so please read along, I hope you will. I will give up my sight also why learning all this things about disabilities, I saw in an interview that it is easier to be blind than to be mute and deaf why because if you are blind still you can understand what was going around you, you can smell the food and can interact well as if you're a normal person, my son also watches TV but if you are mute and deaf, you can see people but if you were not taught how to use sign language the proper way still they can make fun of you ( I am also saying this base of my experience for we have a regular visitor who always come in our office to sit, she is 23 years old mute and deaf, though she is regular there still we cannot faily understand what she wants and what she is telling to us) witjh blind as long as they can touch , smell and hear you cannot make fool out of them, their senses are great. I prefer to be blind too cause still I can use computers, I can chat with friends, go swimming and have fun, go bowling, etc

Actually i am Damn Scared even i Think of it For a Moment. Whenever i see a Handicapped Persons,it Hurts me. And Make me Think What if my Condition Was Like Him. Thinking Like That Felt me Like was Done for it That Moment.

Eyesight would be the hardest. Not seeing things drives me nutz sometimes. I could never imagine my life with out my eye sight. Walking would be the esiest out of the three. I could make do without but would suffer becasue I play the drums so I'd want to keep my legs for that.

Because I already have a hard time walking I guess I could part with that first. I could never get along without my daughter or my grandchildren, computer or true friends. Thank You for your post and for being my friend. Keep in touch.

I have lost my eye sight once because of high blood pressure, my retinas in my eyes tore loose. It was one of the most difficult times of my life. I also lost the use of my kidnies and now I have to go for dialysis three times a week for four hours. I do not wish that upon anyone. Losing any part of your body funcktion is hard to accept. Then again, look at some people excell in life with some bodily funcktions lost. How do they do that? I think when you loose something, you appreciate the rest.

Well.its not any knda strange to kno that u r a writer now,if u had had that imagination when u were a child . about the i way i think of it... i think that i am a perfect piece! i cant imagine how wod it be if i lost a leg or a hand or one of my senses . But the key to it is the word u said..(fate)actually our god the creator created us so perfect to do spacific jops.thats why only god is gonna ask us about every thing in the end. coz he only knows about the apilities we have . so if we were changed. i mean if u lose an ear or i lose sight or hearing ...im sure we were to collapse. yes actually we wod fail and be no way able to continue. And at least we wod have had the complex of inferiority. dont u think so?

The easiest thing for me to give up would be my sight. In my opinion, seeing hasn't done much benefits to my life. If anything, it's made me worse of a person because when I look at a person, I try to judge them on their appearnce. Now, if I didn't have my sight, I probably wouldn't care because I wouldn't need to judge. However... I wouldn't be using the computer right now if I didn't have my sight, but that may also be a good thing. Much too time consuming. Haha. I need everything else though. I need to hear because I love music and I need to hear the opinions of other people. Hearing educates you in communication and in many other ways. I need to speak because without saying what's in my mind, people will probably take advantage of whatever they assume I'm thinking and go about a different way. I need to say what's on my mind, to speak what's right and what's wrong. The hardest thing to give up for me would be walking. I need to walk because if I didn't, I'd feel like a... lazy bum. I'm sorry to say that, but that's how I'd feel because I need to be active. If I'm not active, I have no motivation in doing anything. Like right now, I'm moving about jumping up and down while typing. Hehe. I need my legs!

Great discussion by the way. I can't imagine living without any of these although I guess if I only had one choice then I would go without being able to speak as there are other ways of communicating. I love listening to people and certainly would hate to see my sight go and miss all of the beautiful things in the world! I still don't think the world has adjusted to people in wheel chairs so I don't think I would opt for that either.

When I was 10 or 11 we did an exercise for school. We were taken to a part by the grammer school. Someone would put a blindfold on half the students, the others would help lead them around. Then they would switch. It was an interesting thing to for a little bit realize how it would be to be blind. I know for a fact, being a visual person. I would rather loose sound (hearing) then sight. I would not want to loose speaking or walking. I'm sure I'd figure it out. NOT to say loosing sight & hearing both is bad (check out Hellen Keller) but knowing what it is like to hear & see it would be hard to cope. But I'd rather loose hearing then sight since I am so visual. Its how it goes.

the hardest thing in the world is without seeing anything... we could replace all the others with devices which are avilable.but my opinion, each and every part of our body is so precious.. so it is not easy for me to give up anything at any situation.i realy respect those people who achieve in life,without noticing their disability.

I have a friend who is blind. She was blind from birth and has never seen a thing. I often wondered how she could imagine color and the outdoors since she has never seen them before. I don't think I could live without my sight. Well I could if needed but I wouldn't want to. I have bad eyes anyway and I pray I never completely loose it. If I was to give us something it would be my legs. I need my finger to write, because that is how I am making a living at the moment. I would like my eyes to see and able to express in my writing what I see and I want to see my son as he is growing. And all the wounderful things God has made.

seeing..........u live in world of BLACK...if one cant see..hardest but quite obvious ans, talkin hearin or either thinkin become zeroed wen one cant see.....the definition of WORLD changes as BLACK for them...one of my friend is dum..he cant speak..he looks to me and tries to say i'm lucky enuff..(thank god)i dint lose my eyes like my sister..quite heart pricking

these ar the things that god has gifted to human geings as well as ot creatures of nature.without these we cannot derive any meaning from the world around us.may be it some computer aid or something else they dont work as the ones gifted by the god.
