it wouldn't be real darkness though. the silence would be forever. no more music. no more talking, no sound ever again?? i'm sorry, that would be intolerable for me. you'd have to learn a whole new language, sign language, and almost nobody understands that language.

Atleast being blind, you could still communicate with everyone in english.

I definitely need sound and hearing and speech.

would you rather watch a TV show just the audio or just the video? I'd want the audio. you can still understand the story if you could only hear a TV show, watching a TV show without the sound, you'd have no idea what was going on, and you wouldn't understand the story at all.

For all the world is filled with war and poverty and famine and cruelty and disaster, I still find it an amazingly beautiful place, and I haven't seen enough of it yet. I couldn't cope knowing that I'd never see a beautiful sight again or any of my loved ones faces.

We're all different though
