What Would You Wish For?

[shortin]

Money.
Enough money to get the things I need and want for myself and my family, as well as for me to travel.

Same here.

[Base]

Let's pretend that you only really do have one wish, and that if you wish for any more a little sign pops up that says "Sorry, bub, you can't get that and you just wasted your wish!" Then what would you wish for?

I'd wish for a smaller world where everyone knew each other and it could be a community.

[Flame]

Money. My family needs it, and it'd be nice to not have to worry about it. Then I could also travel.

Just one wish? Am I allowed to wish for unlimited wishes?

If not then I'd just wish for my friends and family..a wish having to do with religion..I wont get into it,but I'd really like the peace of mind of knowing they will be alright. If you catch what I'm saying..

If I can have unlimited wishes..I'd wish for thousands of things. Meet George Huff and Clay Aiken for example.

But in reality,I don't need wishes. If my dreams are to come true,I know God will make them happen.

Unlimited wishes.

Then I'd wish Mary Sues could never be created. If someone tried to make a beautiful, flawless girl who meets a celebrity and falls in love with them, to live happily ever after, they [the author] would find themselves unable to use their hands for two weeks. Any writing/typing devices would break whenever they came near, and the second they tried to tell someone about their character or ailment, they'd be struck dumb [mute].

And then I would wish that fangirls didn't exist. They may admire someone, but they may not lunge at that someone, screaming "I WANNA HAVE YOUR BABIES, YOU HOT PERSON YOU!" Or fantasize about marrying that someone (if they're [someone] unatainable, I mean).

Oh. And then I'd wish for world peace, no slavery, no prejudices, fixed environmental problems, no pollution, that all technology instead runs on solar power (hey, it's raining? Read a book! Do your homework!), that the world was bigger (more space, as the Earth is becoming rather overpopulated)... Stuff like that. ^^;

[Qanda]

Assuming I can only have one wish, I would wish for love, seriously.

[Silja]

Hard to say... I guess I'd wish for everlasting prosperity on earth, meaning that there would be no starving anymore, economical problems would be solved, no wars would exist... you know, lots of things on the list really.

Kind of unreal to even think of wishing for something like that, but I would have nothing against living on earth in harmony without all the horrors.

It would be nice to be wish for things like happiness, help for the poor and money, then there are the silly ones like ultimate soccer skills, invisiblity and the power to fly..haha. I don't know. I would wish for infinite wishes if I could wish for anything I guess.

[Chaud]

One hundred thousand dollars. Enough to buy what we want.....out dreams. Extend the house. And world peace. Happiness...no depression...no more homework....ever. The power to fly...you know those superhero powers....incredible speed and strength. And I'd wish for Nahyeon to love me too. Fear nothing. I'll be happy for the rest of my life having all this. Oh and enough NP to get the strongest battle set there is.

This is a hard question. I only know what I would wish for with three wishes - not merely one.

I would not wish for unlimited wishes. That would be a dangerous thing for me to do. So often in everyday expression I will say, "I wish for this or that!" Often it's merely an exclamation of some point, or an exaggeration. What would I do, if one of my rare, although possible "I wish he was dead!" came true? Yes, I could wish him alive again, but that would not change the fact I'd caused someone to die, and I would not be able to live with myself.

Nor would I wish to turn back time (although I would like to). I don't trust myself with things I don't know. And sometimes, the hardest things in life give good lessons. I'm not sure if I'd be who I am if this or that hadn't happened.

Wishing for world peace isn't high on my agenda either. Although I would honestly like there to be much less suffering, wishing for world peace would be too risky. In my eyes, peace cannot exist without war, for peace came out of a dream and a longing. War creates that dream, and without war, where does the dream go?

And then I could wish to be happy. But I believe in creating my own happiness, for everyone else is a happy person in a different way. Somehow it would be so much sweeter if I found my own secret of happiness and used this throughout my life, rather than never really knowing why I was on that permanent sugar high.

In the end, I come to the conclusion I could wish to be healthy or I could wish to be wise. Neither of these come easy. I'd like to keep learning all my life, so I'd rather not be an all-knowing saint. Wisdom is different though. I'd like wisdom, perhaps, but I wonder if the wise are happy?

Actually, I'd probably wish for my mother to be healthy. I can do very well with being unhealthy for the rest of my life, but I would like my mother to be healthy for the rest of hers. She never was anymore than I am now. Although what I really would like, I think, was to have the ability to make people a little happier, and to give a little extra richness into another's life, to spread some joy and make my own life worth living. It would be such a nice gift to have, and so sweet for others! I honestly wish I had it.

But I love my mother best of all, beyond all other people, so I'd wish for her to be healthy.

Money definatly money

Wow. What a good point!!!!! I tend to do things like that, too, unfortunatly..

Hmmm..maybe I'd limit myself to 5 or so wishes.

[_jaye_]

Unlimited wishes; then they wouldn't come true if I just use the expression, "I wish" casually or something strange. (I don't get that either.)

*looks at list*
-Then I would wish for all A*s in every subject, even English since it's my 3rd language.
-gain maximum points (45) for the IB exams
-go to a great university
-get a good job with good pay and have time for part-time jobs
-since I have good pay so I will want land and a large mansion and get the best grand piano--Stienway (costs like LOADS) and have a music room and etc
-i want a castle.
-wish that my brother would mature!!!
-wish family will be healthy and live a long life, especially mum and dad 'cause I love them the most *starts crying*
-I don't have much luck in love according to the fung shui thing, so I hope that'll change
-happy life. Honestly, it's like I don't want to exist right now.
*looks at audience and closes mouth* I'll shut up. Desires just keeps gooooing. But one last one: I wish some people would just realise what they are and disappear so they would stop irking people.

[Harmonize]

If I could wish for anything, I wouldnt use the wish. I'd give the wish to someone who really needed it, like in the third world. I have a good life as it is. Good educationiong, good health, fairly decent life. Sure I have hopes and dreams of being rich, living till I'm 152, and getting somewhere in life. Just knowing that I've made someone else have a good life, is all I wish for. And that my friends, cant be bought, made, or wished for with a wish.

[Twitchy]

either more wishes, or so much money I was swimming in it..
