my mom has de macular degeneration, and she's legally blind now. when she was diagnosed with it like 5 years ago, my mom didnt even know what to do, basically being told she was going blind and it was to far in to be helped. progressivly its got worse and worse. she can see the figures of people that are far away, but cant tell who they are unless they are right by her. eventually she will never be able to see again at all, and that will be that. shes not allowed to work, licence was taken away which was the hardest thing for her. shes been learning braille with the CNIB and starting to learn how to use the cane.
it sucks being helpless and not able to do anything to change it, but you cant.
when I find that girl, and I get married, my mom will never know the face of my wife, not be able to see us getting married, and never see the faces of my kids.
I'd rather be deaf. |

yeh i think so also. not being able to see is liek being dead only you can still feel .
being deaf isnt a major handicap compared to being blind. you can still go about your daily routine and do anything anyone can do.
but blindness on the other hand really handicaps your ability to do anything. |

^^^true!
I could never imagine not listening to music either! LEt's all thank GOD that we can all hear!
Wear those damn ear plugs when you do go out! the decibles in clubs are notoriously bad for our lil' wee ears!! Most health plans have coverage. and Guvernement gives them away for FREE at the candy booth!!!
Wear your sunglasses to protect yourselves from getting cateracx(sp I know) when you are older!
ciao 4 now folks! |

But what about never being able to stare into your lovers eyes, or see your own children growing up?
Being blind would leave travelling to be completely pointless. There are so many pitfalls to being blind... |

I voted blind.
I would rather hear my children the first time they called me Daddy.
I would rather hear them laughing and playing.
I would rather listen to someone's troubles and offer advice, then see them make a bad decision.
I find it very peaceful to sit and listen to nature, music, etc.
I would certainly drive myself crazy only being able to hear my own thoughts all the time.
When deaf, one does not want to go to theaters, to movies, to concerts, or even to restaurants as we live in a world that just does not understand you cannot hear them. There are more people in this world know how to speak words then to speak sign language.
I know that every point I made here can also be made in the opposite favor, but this is just my view of it.
Helen Keller said that sight connects us to the world but hearing connects us to each other.
