If you had a choice on what to lose..?

Question

If you had a choice to lose your
hearing
sight
hands
or feet.which would choose and why?

I'll explain why in a bit. Being insightful and honest is key.

My choice would have to be hands, I'd still have arms to hug with. I enjoy walking and sitting on the dock at the lake and dipping my feet in. I would miss hearing my children laughing and saying I love you mommy. I would miss watching all the silly and cute things they do. Stuff they drrew for me at school for mothers day and the random stuff they bring home that I stick on the fridge. If I were to lose my hands I could find other ways to type and hug with the remainder of my arms.

My other reasonings. I was talking with my Buzia(Polish grandma) and she has osteoarthritis, I hugged her so hard I broke her rib. She is has been confined to a bed and wheelchair for the past couple of years. She can no longer go outside to pick her apples and be outside in the weather because it hurts her bones. My fiances grandma is blind and is always asking what is going on and what just happened and why is everyone laughing. My cousin is deaf and can't hear her neices and nephews laughing and getting into trouble, she's scared to have kids of her own for fear of passing it on.

ps. glad to get everyone thinking. take care and keep yourselves safe. and love yourself and all your family.

Answer 1

I think I would say my feet.While I enjoy walking, if I lost my feet I might be able to be fitted with prosthetic devices.If not, I could still have mobility with a wheel chair or scooter. I would not want to lose my vision because I would miss seeing my grandchildren smile, looking at their art work, watching them play and finding happiness in simple pleasures.I'd miss seeing sunrises and sunsets and everything in between.I would not want to lose my hearing because I wouldn't be able to hear my family say "I love you", I wouldn't hear their contagious laughter over silly jokes.I would miss them singing in school concerts and asking me endless questions.I would miss my hands because I need them to brush my grand-daughters hair, to pick u[p leaves in the park, to hug those I love, to talk with (I use a lot of hand movement) . I suppose I would miss the enjoyment I get from simple pleasures if I did not have any of those things.I just thought of my dad who got pleasure from giving his grand-children and great-grand-children hugs.He took pleasure from the things he could do and did not waste time complaining about the things he couldn't do.He was an inspiration to me .

Answer 2

It seems that losing your feet would impede normal progress in your life the least. I could imagine being able to run or walk without them, and it seems that bioengineers have a pretty easy time designing prosthetic feet. Thus at a pragmatic level this would be best.

I love to read so I would hate to lose my sight, but I would also love to develop other modalities. There are so many pleasant sounds and textures in the world that we don't have the opportunity to notice because vision overwhelms our sensory capacities. From a romantic perspective I say lose vision!

Answer 3

I would choose hearing if I had to choose beacause if I lost sight then I can't see, which means I cannot have fun and can't do my work. If I lost my hands someone would have to feed me, do my work, and other stuff 24/7. If I lost my feet then I could not be able to have fun, go places, get exersize or any of that. This is why I would rather lose my hearing then these others.

Answer 4

I would say I'd want to lose my hearing because then I could still do most of the things I enjoy, like watching my children grow, watch movies, read. And I could still cook and take care of my family if I had my hands and play with my kids if I had my feet. I think I would miss hearing the least. Interesting question. Thanks.

Answer 5

Hearing

Answer 6

I would choose the lesser of all of those loses, hearing. If you can see, you could read lips. If you had no feet, you could not walk, if no hands you could not take care of yourself or your family. People can always write notes to you or learn sign language if you were deaf. That is my logic for what I would give up if I had too.

Answer 7

honestly, i have no clue
i wouldn't want to lose my hands because i wouldn't be able to play the piano and guitar and draw and write and do everyday activities
hearing-i love music and i don't think i'd be able to live without hearing anything
sight-i love to draw even if i suck and i love looking at pictures
feet-i like walking and would hate to depend on anyone else to carry me around or use a wheelchair. i have to stretch and go jogging once in a while. i love randomly doing cartwheels and stuff

i can't choose, i'll leave it in god's hands
XD

Answer 8

I'm already a little hard of hearing. So I could live without my hearing the best of the choices given. At least I would be able to see to drive.

Answer 9

I have all ready lost my hearing so I don't care to lose anything else...

Now, that my hearing is all but gone my other senses have picked up the pace. My sight is astounding...my peripheral vision is so awesome. My hands feel so much differently and my feet? Well, they aren't so good right now but I am giving them treatments to be better.

Answer 10

That's a tough question. I am blind in one eye now, so loosing sight in the other would still leave me with hands to touch and a nose to smell and feet to walk on a beautiful sand beach to hold hands with my loved one.
