.
            ocular
                of the eyes
                    sight, vision
                        blindness

            aural
                of the ears
                    hearing, audition
                        deafness

            nasal
                of the nose
                    smell, ofaction
                        anosmia

            oral
                of the mouth
                    taste, gustation
                        ageusia

            tactile
                of the hands
                    touch, mechanorecption
                        anesthesia

Life is the Common Sense

If you say, life is beautiful,
You discriminate the blind

If you say, life is sweet,
You discriminate people that have ageusia

If you say, then, that life is melodious,
You discriminate the deaf

If you comment that life feels good,
You discriminate the people with anaphia

If you say, life a grand speech,
You discriminate the dumb.

So, Life is neither of the five senses,
But Life is the Common Sense.
