Qurator's Mischievous Mondays | Beyond Sight and Sound
(Edited)
Welcome to Qurator's Mischievous Mondays!
This will be a weekly competition that we will be hosting every Monday. We want to see a little more engagement and fun when it comes to some of our competitions so this will be a simpler and shorter competition. Easy to enter, but maybe not so easy to win. ;) This competition will be similar to the Monday Missions we had a long time ago, but instead of writing posts to enter we will now consider only the comments and answers on this blog as your entry to win.
Why Mischievous?
We all could use a little fun in our lives. We would even say that we deserve it, let loose a little and have a go at making everyone laugh or think a little, even if it is a little over the top or pure silliness. Go all out and let your creative juices flow.

Congratulations to all of us Hivers, :)
Thanks so much!! Congratz to all winners!!
Just thinking about the possibility of suddenly losing both sight and hearing brings on strong anxiety. Imagining a life where the two main ways of interacting with the world just vanish is terrifying. The adaptation would surely be a daily challenge and, in the beginning, likely quite overwhelming.
For someone who can see and hear, it’s very complex to even begin to understand what this new phase would be like. I believe I would have to completely reinvent myself, learn a new language, like tactile braille, and rely much more on touch to communicate and recognize my surroundings.
The simplest tasks, like eating, moving around the house, and even getting dressed, would reach a whole new level of complexity. Everything would need to be reorganized so that I could navigate using only touch, which would demand a huge amount of discipline.
It would be hard to stay calm in the face of such a radical change, and I would definitely depend on the support and patience of others. Therapy and mental health professionals would be essential to help me through this.
It’s a reality that shows just how much we rely on our senses, and how facing something like this would require courage and resilience beyond anything I can imagine.
This week's theme : Beyond Sight and Sound
Imagine if our Sense of Sight and Hearings are lost, This will become not good for us but we can't escape this kind of situations. This is my own point of views about losing Sights and hearings. What will I do If I have this kind of situations specially when I am old? This is a kind of Serious situations happens in our lives and we can't escape it.
First is for my Lifestyle:
Dietetians always keep telling us to eat nutritious foods that can help to our body, this is a kind of basic advices but it brings a good results to our Body. For me, eating vegetable and fruits can help my self stay strong. Eating squash is good for eyesight and doing simple exercises and proper hygienes is also good.
Next is for Communication:
Communication is the best way to express our feelings to others, if the when we can't see or heard there are some still basic ways to do proper communication just like sign language. Pointing with the use of our hands is a kind of sign language that can help everyone to understand what we want to say about. Next is by writing, if We don't know how to perform a sign language, writing on a piece of paper can also help to easily understand to others.
Last is the Daily Activities:
Even we can't see or heard , there are still basics activities we can do in our life just like doing a simple exercises, stretching our arms and legs, waving our arms. We can also walk but in slowly motion by touching and holding some things in order for us to walk from one place to another even if we can't see.
This kind of situations are not an obstacles for us , courage and positivity is very important.
To think that such a situation could happen to me fills me with anguish and reminds me of the fear and emotions I felt when I was diagnosed with glaucoma 13 years ago, at that time I felt that my life was ending and the more I investigated the worse I felt, I searched the internet for images of what could be my future, I saw people with white eyes and unable to see, beyond the aesthetic problem was to lose the most valuable sense for me, Thank God with treatment I have been able to delay those devastating consequences, now to think that I would be blind and also deaf would be a very strong impact for me and my family, my mother would suffer a lot and that would make me feel worse because it was my cause, but for that same reason I would look for a way to continue appreciating what I have left, and most certainly after a long time in bed and tears shed I would get up and continue forward.
My way of being resilient in this situation, would be after a time of analyzing what I have left, the word would be at the highest level of importance, so I would take care of every word and sentence that comes out of my mouth. I would try to send the best possible message to facilitate my life and the lives of those around me, I would ask them to get me a cane that vibrates when I have an object nearby (I do not know if there is something like that, but I imagine it) and I would ask them to make the spaces where I walk as free as possible. I would ask them to take me every day to receive sunshine and to hug me more often.
At that moment I would value more the art of knitting, which I happen to be learning now, I don't know if it is a way to prepare myself for a negative future, but it fills me with tranquility to think of doing something even if I don't see. I would tell them to put me to dishwashing and prepare dressings to collaborate at home and thus feel useful, also that they will take me to the sea from time to time.
Living without these senses is a great challenge, but there are people who are happy with less than that.
Thank you for this dynamic. @
DEVELOPING NEW SKILLS
One positive thing about human beings is their ability to adapt. The sudden loss of vision and hearing would initially cause some psychological problems, their sense of taste would be a wall of wailing. The adaptation period would be long, a drastic change in lifestyle. However, over time, the other senses (touch, smell and taste) would develop to try to make up for part of this loss.
Life would no longer be the same, patience and dependence would be commonplace in everyday life, at least until they had a mentally familiar place. It is possible to survive in this reality, despite the hardships and difficulties of everyday life, there is always the incentive to move forward.
Taste would be the best weapon, being able to say what you need and answer questions in tactile Braille would be some of the few possible forms of communication. Your sense of smell would be meticulous, you would develop abilities to heroic levels, something that you must keep secret in the midst of new experiences.
I don't know if it would take months or years, but this radical change would end with a home adapted to the capabilities/skills developed in the transition of this change, the biggest regret would be never being able to see the beauties of life, but life would follow its course normal.
