I remember learning in school that there were five senses. Just lately I’ve read a couple of things suggesting that there are way MORE than five. The five we know… sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing…
Another suggested is BALANCE.
Another I wonder on is PLEASURE.
Also – a sense of time passing; a sense of direction (which I lack!), and a sense of where you are in relation to other people or objects…
We talk about having a sense of adventure, or a sense of fun or a sense of humour – perhaps some of them are more to do with emotion or personality or even a combination of the most common five but I find this thought fascinating… and another exposure to ‘in the box’ kind of thinking that exists unwittingly, till we are shown that perhaps the box is insufficient.
Can you think of any other potential senses?
