Answer 10

if you have never seen anything and you feel it, dont you have an image in your mind of what you think it looks like???

Answer 11

what would you base it off of, you don't know what anything looks like except black space or not even that, just nothing

Answer 12

no... blind people imagine things tooo

Answer 13

....like? how can they, the don't know what things are? are you saying the can picture things they have never seen like dreams? its like saying you can know what a fruit is without ever seeing it, tasting it, or feeling it, and being able to draw it inch for inch without any outside help

Answer 14

you never said they were unable to feel or taste... you just said blind and deaf

Answer 15

ok bad comparison. my point is this. if you have never seen anything, never have heard of anything, then how can you think of what sight is when you have never seen anything. how can you imagine anything but just ideas (not pictures or things) b/c you have never seen them, let alone anything

Answer 16

but you are still imagining things on your own..... nobody can tell you you are right or wrong and you just go through live thinking thats what that certain something is....

Answer 17

ok but you say "that" and the thing "that" is something, something that has a shape and size and color and other attributes. The only thing you can think about "that" is just the idea of it, not what "that" looks like, or what it is written or spoken?

Answer 18

but you have an idea based upon feeling it. possibly tasting it and smelling it...

Answer 19

the bottom line is this, if you can't hear or see, your basically a pile of rocks.
