If you have to lose one sense, which would you choose?

[GeminiDiamond]

If you had to lose a sense, which would you choose and still live a happy life?

The 6th sense is your intelligence and motor skills.

Why did you pick that sense out of the others?

Sight

Hearing

Smell

Taste

Touch

My 6th sense

All of the senses are doorways. Finding which one to close is a difficult choice indeed. However, when one sense is absent, it enhances the other senses. We've all gotten a cold before, and our nose gets stuffy. Can't smell anything! At first, it's even hard to taste anything as they are closely linked. If i had to pick, then I choose smell! I've already experienced what that was like to lose and I still managed to still be happy. Thank you all so far for the votes and opinions.

Losing your 6th sense is the worst one to lose with no benefits. If you can't perceive, have the sense of awareness, you don't have empathy, and your body is hard to move, your a borderline vegetable. You're here, but not here. You have no reason, sense of identifying what's around you or self discovery. If you lose that sense, you lose you.

Even though I'm worried because your sense of smell can be the difference between life and death in some situations I had to pick smell because the other ones are too important. Actually maybe taste would be good too then eating healthy would be very easy if you're not missing out on anything but you couldn't taste if there was something wrong with your food which would be a big problem too. I don't know it's hard.

I've seen enough, to not ever forget...

I do have a great visual memory as well... I'd still have my dreams which do happen quite often

all other senses, I know I would miss them much more and they would not be easy, and might impossible to replace so, I would go without sight

Interesting to choose sight, Nathan. That is the one sense that really amplifies all other senses if lost. That and hearing.
esa fue una gran respuesta, gracias

[NathanDavis]

any time...

de nada (=

and yes, long time ago I had a very great conversation and experience about this, with someone who had lost their sight temporarily

I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ really but I say smell

[Nikki1989]

Taste. I rarely eat anyway.

[AviatorTom]

I could live without smell, My wife tells me I can't smell things anyway. Her nose is like a bloodhound.

I lost my smell and taste in a motorcycle accident very depressing i must say

[ChicoFromThe305]

Smell, it's basically the sense with the least negative effects if we were to exclude it

[exitseven]

smell. Itis true I won't smell fresh baked bread but I woud not smell farts either.

[ICanSmellTheCosmos]

Smell. I barely have it already, to the point that a can of sardines doesn't bother me.
