Here's a bit of a challenge. If you were in an accident and lost one of your five senses which sense could you part with the most and which sense couldn't you part with at all? Explain why for each.
I believe the sense I could live the most without is my sense of taste. Without taste I can still enjoy my other four senses and adapt to a life of a tasteless existence. Besides I have already tasted many foods and know what they taste like and can rely on my memory for most things.
The sense of touch is the sense I can never live without or I would surely die. To even imagine not being able to feel the warmth of a tender hug, my cousin's little fist surrounding my finger, the security of having my head nestled on my love's chest and listening to his heartbeat and feeling his chest rise with every breath, the coolness of the ground on a hot summer's night, the wetness of a snowball, and the long awaited rain after a drought. Imagine not being able to feel the comfort of a friend's hand, the warm whisper of a secret, warm tears streaming down your face in joy of a new child's birth, the refreshness in a hot shower after not being able to take one, and love's tender kiss. Living without touch would be like a death sentence to me. I'm a touchy person, no pun intended.
God bless and take care,
Jen

After the job I had I would say smell ,
Love You Dad
the one I can't live without is the abilty to talk that is the worst not being able to convey what you want
My daughter called to tell me that talking is not a sense so tasting is what I cannot live without. Being in the hospital and having a bland diet confirms that.
