What would my one wish be? To have the earth’s plants & animals voices heard- loud and clear. They’ll be understood by all of the human life that the earth’s resources all have great value. No more excessive waste, extreme cuts, or leaving places bare. Listen to earth cry out. Feel it’s pain. Such a wonderful place. Let’s come together and keep the earth’s wondrous beauty whole for generations & many more to come.

If granted two other wishes...I’ll have requested first- for Super human power, flight, inivisibilty- the entire deal. But then I thought- that’s not going to work for me. The government definitely would have either experimented on me, or sent me to join the army, maybe even lead the group in battle. That would have been a nightmare for me. I wouldn’t be able to look at my reflection ever again. Knowing that I used my powers to fight and not save. One one hand I would think I was saving lives, and on the other- well, actually not. Instead of aiming for a better way towards harmony, I would be only making things worse. The people not in the army/battle would see me as a threat, mostly just a super human who likes to hurt other humans.

And for the second wish, I’d have asked for a typewriter that types the words from my thoughts. I wouldn’t have to lift a finger. Not only that, my type writer could also be able to see my dreams & also get that onto paper. This way whenever I have a dream, and I forget...all I’ll have to do is read the page (or pages) from the typewriter. This would make me such a lazy writer. If ever my typewriter were to break, I’d lose it. Maybe I’ll not have the motivation/energy to write a word- not even a single sentence.

I must admit, the one and only top/first wish seems to be more realistic. As for the other two- hmmm, those may only happen in my peculiar dreams.

Three wishes! three potential wishes for the world, and just one to be granted, has me thinking just what is it most that I do not want universally, and what would absence of that thing really mean in the short and long run... what One Wish would serve best to top the List of all possible wishes...?

For instance, I do not want Disease— it would be a beautiful thing to have no physical or mental illness in the world... then there ought to be no war or strife even. But might people subsequently be released to do whatever they like? and what would that mean? uninhibited indulgence? an unwitting plunder of the planet? Do I want to live in a world without consequence? without death perhaps? without the potential of resurrection then? No— that would not seem to be a beautiful vision.

Perhaps no-disease would extend into the shaky moral/ ethical arena? If not, then maybe what I am really asking for is for elimination of "stupidity," or rather for Wisdom? If everyone were wise what would that entail for our capacity for Tolerance? Would it cease to exist— becoming obsolete? Would that be a good thing, or would we be somehow incomplete? Perhaps in asking for Wisdom— which sounds elitist— what I am in essence soliciting is an end to lack of "self-restraint."

If everyone exercised Discipline would it result in a better Life? e.g. improved relationships, alone and with others? greater resourcefulness, mindfulness of consequences, more consideration in interactions? less abuse, hate, greed? healthier daily choices? a sense of growth and full-fillment; empathy for all creation?

I'd like to think it would... world wide... so this is what I will wish for... Self-Discipline.

#Challenge #OneWish #TwoAlternates

Common and sense is some in between, lost in a bushel.

Genie?

Play out an act with fanfare ciocralia and do the Asfalt Tango.

Genie?

In fact i'll take five, sing sing sing here ate two more.

Transparency.

I'll let nitwit genie go, with all the nonsense and i couldn't place two.

I think I would wish for world peace as fighting in this day and age seems so fruitless and somewhat idiotic.

Surely we are at a time where words and agreemants can be made in a civil manner?

------

The two wishes I thought of but reconsidered:

Good health for all on earth, it would be nice not to have ill people, but the way we use the resources and treat the earth, more people on it would make it worse than it is now.

The other one:

To go back in time to a day I lost two people very dear to me, but if I did that I would change the course of my future and lose others dear to me now.

------------

Now your turn!

My first wish would be that I could have wings so I could fly. It's something I've always wanted to do, but only been able to do in my dreams. I want to know if it feels as amazing as my dreams lead me to believe. But would I really have the strength neccessary to move those wings up and down, or would it just come effortlessly?

My second wish would be the ability to have all manner of telapthic abilities. Who would need wings when you could use force fields, anti-grav, and a telekenesis?! I thought that I had finally found that one wish.

But then the lightbulb clicked on in my head, and, after muttering, "You idiot! Why didn't you think of that before!" I hurried to make my wish.

My third, and ultimately the wish I made, was for unlimited wishes!

No wish is more valuable than the gift of acceptance. I would gladly trade in all my gold and silver, gladly trade in all my gifts and ribbons for it; and even then, those would only be small sacrifices. I wish for the world to one day realize that to discriminate is to only leave room for more hate.

Mother, can you hear me speaking to you? Can you hear me asking for you to accept who I am and the woman I love? Can you hear me pleading you to disregard the holy words of the Bible for a single moment, and to grant me my greatest wish of all?

Father, can you for a single moment, not laugh at me? And instead, acknowledge my wish?

If there was ever a genie on this planet, I would wish for bigotry to end, for love to spread; but if I only had one wish, I would wish for acceptance towards my people. Because bigotry may end, but would we be really helping anyone? If love were to spread, wouldn't many still reject it? But if acceptance would be given to me and the woman I love, I would be made the happiest woman on earth!

I remember you. Your, eyes, your smile. I remember your hugs, warm and soft. I remember the roses your brought me, dozens upon dozens of roses, which you brought day after day. I remember your dark hair, long and soft. And those dark eyes, like two dark pearls. And all those hours we spent in the dead of the night, awake in silence. And all those quiet murmurs which we had in the room, cut off from the rest of the world. I remember everything.

But all of this memory is for nothing, you are no longer here.

My wish, is only for you to be alive. I don't wish that you love me, that wish is ridiculous, and vile. You can fall in love in thousands of people in thousands of moments, all in a different way, and I am no different.

Not do I wish for an eternal life. A life, even though it is a mortal one, without you, is a torture I cannot relive again.

I want you to live, to spend an eternal moment beside you , just so I can bask in your presence for a moment longer.

Just that one moment.

Wishes are loaded, aren't they?

Maybe it depends who offers you the wish, but it always seems to be that when you get one granted its filled with mischief and lessons to be learned. For example, you wish back the dead. And they do come back, but not the way they were before. They smell, they have no personality and instead of having the living being that you so dearly love back in your life the way they were before... instead you remember them differently. An old, crotchy dying zombie. And then you wasted a wish on that.

So while I would like to believe I could wish back my dear loved ones back to life, it would appear that this is a wasted wish. So wish number one that came to mind, but I decided not to choose. Bringing back the dead.

You could, maybe, circumvent the whole gross living dead thing by going back in time. Knowing that things are different, you can maybe change the future by altering the past. But again, a lesson to be learned. What if this loved one had to die, to make you appreciate those in your life today? What if they didn't die, and you go on living as the little brat you always were, and years past and you don't appreciate it and then, when someone finally does die again... all the time you had spent moving on and growing had been wasted on your continually not appreciating those in your life. Karma? Things meant to be? Happening for a reason? I don't believe in God, but I do believe in fate. And having faith that maybe the world has a tiny bit of reasoning, even if it seems random and it doesn't make any sense, kind of like me. I don't make any sense either, but I'm trying. So second wish that I might want, but don't wish for: time traveling, and changing the present. As much as I miss you, and trust me I adore you, I think it was maybe your time. Maybe it was meant to be.

So what then, would my wish be?

I think I would be able to speak, read,write and understand every language in the world. Imagine the possibilities of knowledge, friends. Imagine understanding everyone just a little bit better.

Plus, you'd be better than everyone else applying to the same job as you. A small perk, but a perk nonetheless.

So… three wishes eh? Three ponders rather but only one to choose, the rest discarded…

I suppose, immortality would be one wish but that’s got too many downsides. It’d get bloody boring very quickly. Especially when the last life on the planet had ended and I was all alone for the rest of eternity. Add to that seeing all your friends wither and die…

So no….

How about a superpower? Trouble with that is which one? There’s too many to choose from and once I’d made the wish I might wish I’d chosen a different one…

Let’s get clever instead.

I’d write quite a few things on a piece of paper. No, no infinite wishes, just that everything that I had written on that sheet during the time period it took to write it would come true.

What would be on that sheet?

Simply this…

I find myself in a white space with access to every piece of fiction past, present and future ever put down or to be put down on a medium which allows others to understand it.

I’m granted the ability to read and comprehend as if I’m fluent, every single language in the universe because the fiction available isn’t just from the planet earth, it’s from everywhere, everywhen.

I can read anything and choose any fictional character. I would then become that character in the world of the book and live out its life from birth to death.

If there is no death, as in, the character is eternal, a time limit must be specified before the transfer and when the death of the character is reached or the time limit expires, I return to the white space to choose my next. For all eternity.

If the book doesn’t detail every period of the character’s life, that life follows the logical and character direction.

If the character is undefined, blank or badly written, aspects of my own character fill the gaps. Picking a background character for example, where nothing is known about him other than he stood and watched a scene, I would be me in that world only bound by one constraint, to be at that scene to see it, otherwise free to do as I pleased as long as it didn’t interfere with the plot of the book.

My number one wish? That’s easy or at least I think it should be. So why is it not?

The obvious answer should be to give me more time with my dying mother, right? So, why was the first thing that came to my mind, to meet that one person, the one that I thought will change my life. Make me see my own self worth as more than lower than the gum on the botton of the desk in the back of the classroom.

My one wish that I would ask for and promise my soul, voice, anything for, would one hundred percent be that person. I always thought it was him, but now I realize that he made me feel even worse than the gum. But I still keep running back to him hoping this time will be different and he’ll actually love me this time.

The second thing that came in to my mind only appeared a millisecond after the first. I want, no, need more time. More time to find my people. More time with my dying mother. More time to right my wrongs. To not make those stupid decisions, or say that stupid shit that one day will get me killed. And lastly, if anything else to rewrite my past to work better into my future, the future I want. I can’t ask for those other things because as much as I want more time, or a different past, those things play into who I am today and who I will be. If I could just find that one person, I could better myself to acheive the things I want for my future, if I could see that I’m not worthless and someone would give me a chance.
