kathy_fraggleIf you could keep only one of your five senses--taste, touch, smell, sight, or hearing--which would you choose and why?

Whenever I try and decide which of the senses is the most important, and which would affect me the most if I lost it, I always think hearing. I depend so much on it, and a world without sound would just be dead for me. But thinking about it, since touch is one of the tradditional 5 senses, I've gotta go with that one. Whether we notice or not, I'd say touch is the sense we use the mst. It tells us what's around us, and helps us determine where we are and ground ourselves in reality. If we lose our balance, we reach out and touch something to steady ourselves. Nature, to my knowledge, doesn't even take that one away from us! The only exceptions I can think of are nerve damage, paralysis, or arm or hand amputations. So yeah, touch is my answer.
