Slow Sundays...1!

This is what Ry does on Sundays.
Slack, and watch anime. Srsly. I got myself the L4D2 offer on Steam for Mac, thanks a lot to my cousin, Chris(I owe him 8 bucks now. xD)

(K-On Rocks, btw, that's the anime series of the gals up there. <3)

Sundays are always so damn slow, and I tend to stay in bed and wonder about random-ass things.
So, I woke up got a random book from my shelf and read.
I picked up one of my Roald Dahl young adult stories. "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and 6 More."
Yeahhhh, I skipped to Henry Sugar. One of my favourite stories.

SO, I'm wondering aloud la. What the hell would happen to your perception when you shut down 1 or more of your physical senses.
Of course, there's the obvious answer, but I was thinking of an experiment. Can a person with perfectly normal senses, survive a day without 1 of their senses? Technically, yes. Physically, it's possible.
Now, what about mentally? They're sure to get irritated, know what I mean?

Sight


Close your eyes for just 1 hour. Close them, stay awake, and use your other senses to navigate around your house. Pretty OKAY, right? I mean, you're moving via memory. Now, imagine if you move around with no memory.

Speech and Hearing.


Now, just try to live a day, without talking a single word at all. Willingly or otherwise.
It's actually more doable than losing the other senses, right?
Not really. Imagine doing this for the rest of your life. Pretty hard. It's frustrating. Your senses all can perceive. All your "input" functions are working, but your "output" function isn't.
Losing speech usually goes hand-in-hand with hearing.

Losing hearing would be one of the more painful ones too.
Imagine life without music, without audio input.


The point I'm making with this whole post, would be that losing any one of your senses would be rather...suck.
I'm of course, describing the bare-minimum of the feeling.
The reason I'm suddenly thinking about losing of senses, would be 'cause Abby, a close close friend of Sharon and myself, is learning sign language.

Kudos to you, of course, Abby.

So, next time you say that it sucks to live your life, or next time you say that life isn't worth living.
Remember that Blind people are still living. They have one less sensory input, but they're still living. They love life and all that it involves. So don't think your life sucks.

Maybe it does, I don't know, but point is, there're worst cases out there. Alright? *hug*

YES, that's a virtual hug to anyone out there! :)
