blind or mute - which would you choose
« on: November 30, 2009, 06:37:49 am »
Someone recently asked me if I would rather be blind or mute.... this is difficult for me.... I love to talk, and I enjoy being able to see as well.  If i had to choose I think I would select blind - at least then I could still communicate and talk :)

Which would you choose?  Why?

Of course, fittingly after this Thanksgiving I am thankful for both my sight and my ability to talk!  :)

my eye sight is failing due to a disease and it's been a very bad thing for me.  I guess I'd rather be mute because I don't like talking much anyway....

I'd rather choose to be blind than to become mute. If anything happens to you, when you are mute you can't scream or call for help. You become more sensitive when you are blind by sensing, touching, and overtime you become more fully aware of your surroundings and discover things that you normally don't realize which everyday people take for granted.  8)

I'd rather be mute. There are other ways you could communicate if you couldn't speak.
