I'd rather be blind than deaf and unable to play the piano without hands. Sometimes I believe that my eyes provide a distraction to my mind. My hearing allows a great deal more food for my soul, largely because of music. Hearing the sound of loved ones is also wonderful.

I would like many other people choose to lose my eyes. There is so much in the world that I don't want to see. There are some many things that my eyes are wasted on. T.V. being one thing that my eyes distract me with. Without your eyes touch becomes so much more powerful and all the other senses. I couldn't live without music though. Without hands I couldn't give massages and what would the world be like where I couldn't pet my dog. Sight is so overrated. Why do you think people close their eyes when they kiss. You can duplicate sounds and sights but touch is always the truest sense.

^^^Nice! I completely agree with you.

I absolutely love music, but I think life would be harder without sight than without sound. I would miss listening to Jazz and game music the most, but I could still do all of my other hobbies, albeit in silence.

Being 100% deaf in one ear since I was 14, I would have to say that to be totally deaf would totally cut you off from people. Not very many people know sign language, and you would not be able to communicate in normal everyday settings, even just at the grocery store, etc. Being blind, also cuts you off almost totally. So therefore, I would have to go with having one less arm, since you can still function fairly normally in a social setting, and could still function on your own.
