When Should We Trust Our Senses to Give Us the Truth? Sight‚ smell‚ sound‚ taste‚ and touch make up the five senses that we have all become very familiar with.

is how our economy should be played out. It’s either a good idea to give to the poor to make things fair‚ or keep your money to yourselves‚ or maybe it’s a good idea to put a cap on the population so we don’t have to give to the poor.
