Humans have five primary senses. They are touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste. Have you ever imagined being without one of these senses? If you lost your sight, you wouldn't be able to enjoy any more sunsets. When you ventured out, you would feel a sense of insecurity, not able to see your surroundings.
