Seeing Doesn'T Feel Touch Taste Or Smell

When It comes to trying to
explain or telling someone

Apart from another person who
was actually beside you themselves
at that point in time

About what that certain place you have
been or seen was actually like

Because even if a picture paints 
a 1000 pictures

A video far more detail so

Than even our own eye's can capture

And you able to relay it down to the
slightest minute detail

The human eye can only see

It can not feel or touch

Taste or smell

And word's alone cannot either

Encapsulate a collective combination 
of them all together

That can sufficiently capture what
exactly that means to only you

Only you memory yourself can remember

Otherwise if you could wouldn't that
make them less special and diminish
there value

If someone was able to tell you what
it's like to stand in front of the 
7 Wonders of the World

Would we still feel the same need
or desire to go and see it for ourselves

Come to think of it would they even
have been built at all

If someone was able to adequately
explain what love feels like

Also knowing the pain of death , suffering
loss is to follow and awaits us all

Would we even still be here wish
us born at all

Maybe that's the reason why we as
human beings feel the need

To have to see things for ourselves
in order to believe

You describe these four senses with a thought provoking approach and we all have our own perspectives and thoughts about each sense you have mentioned , why, because God is responsible for making each one of us unique. Some can smell and not see others can see but not feel and there are those that can taste and not smell or vice versa. Awesome write Christopher, hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

On a certain level I totally understand where your coming from, but my own life experience is that some places are over hyped, and may prove to be a disappointment, but emotions are different, when we possess empathy we can really feel other's heartbreak and loss, but I do think its all relative to the observer, some people feel nothing, others enjoy their lives vicariously, damn you ask tough questions, this is only an opinion not an answer, cheers David

Yes you are so right David We are after all individuals and based on that fact up to each to see and decide for themselves. There is no good taste or bad taste just individual taste
