Losing Your Senses

When you lose one bodily sense, it’s as if you lost another since all these senses are adjoined. Even so, we are likewise made to adjust to conditions making the remaining senses stronger, more likely to make up for the loss of the other. Let’s say I unexpected got blind due to an accident. If this occurs, my whole life would dramatically change and the complete coloured life I used to live will now turn black. I would have to be escorted around locations and would have to get utilized to improving my sense of touch and feeling because these will be my main guides through life together with my sense of hearing.

I believe, of all the senses minus the sense of sight, the sense of touch and hearing will compensate for the loss. Next is the sense of smell and lastly the taste given that we typically don’t eat or put anything in our mouth that we do not truly understand if it’s edible.

What if I lose my sense of hearing after having lost my sense of sight? Definitely, this would bring me so much sorrow since the sense of hearing is one my guides in moving about in the blind world I am in. I might enter into depression and feel so sorry for myself that I might not function well.

However quickly, I would need to get the pieces and count on the remainder of my senses, having my sense of touch as my most relied on bodily sense then my sense of odor and my taste. My as soon as world of sounds and feeling would become a dark and quiet world that will undoubtedly emotionally impact me considering that I have currently learned to deal with my ears as my guide then unexpectedly I would only have my sense of touch to trust, not knowing what something is prior to I truly get hold of it.

After having adjusted to life through touching and feeling, if by chance, I lose this too; I might go through a deeper depression and feel so much self-pity that I might even try to commit suicide. I feel so invalid and almost dead for not being able to even fend for myself. By this time I believe I could not really go on life alone without someone to assist me since the one thing that has helped me get through all my disabilities is gone, I could no longer go on.

I might as well be dead as to having just my sense of taste and smell left with me. In case I stay alive to lose my sense of taste and later my sense of smell, it would no longer matter so much since I am almost considered a walking dead. Unable of anything a normal person could feel, see, smell, hear or even taste. I would most likely want to go through euthanasia and end my misery of losing the most common of senses in the most legal and accepted way.
