————————————————————————————————- This is a long post, please ignore it, unless you’re Inconnu! ————————————————————————————————- I really like the idea. It, strangely, really made me think. Hope you don’t mind reading this friggin’ long post. Well, like everyone else, at first I want to wish for : Some kind of immortality
Be-all,end-all knowledge
Had Sony launched the best game console possible (thanks to the ultimate knowledge), things would have been different. I will, of course, be glad to play on it but I will lose that sense of anticipation when the new console arrive. I will lose that ‘magical’ feeling as there’s nothing more to achieve. No more sense of fulfillment for me. Of course, I could use the knowledge to cure cancer or sell it for money, but I don’t think so. I remember when I first got into a theme park and I like that sense of amazement. An amazement that will forever be lost if I already know about everything, bumuming I didn’t fry my brain in the process World peace —-> I have a crazy idea for this though
Of course, I could wish for eternal world peace. But, imho, to do this, the deity will have to take out our emotion or free will and put us in a pre-regulated society (what are we?animal?robot?). Mmm, this reminds me of Eguilibrium movie. Some kind of ability to undo past mistake
Money and fame
etc —-> if I write them all, I’ll get an e-peen for ‘not knowing when to stop writing’ ————————————————————————————————- Well, the world could really use some improvements. These are my wishes: 1. I wish that people would stop taking things for granted, so they will think, “How lucky I am to have this” before thinking, “****, I must have that”
This may stop people from doing something they will regret (stupid example: raping your girlfriend). It will remind people to hug their parents/childrens while they’re there. It may make a certain company to think twice before spilling tons and tons of oil into the sea (it’s our children’s children that will pay, dammit!) Personal experience: I lost several friends because of this. Got friend…thought they would be my friend forever…didn’t actually nurture the friendship…the friendship soon died… 2. I wish that during their time of need, people will always have someone close by their side to help, to console (and so on) but most importantly, to listen
It’s not about giving advice/interrupting/responding/commenting/judging/daydreaming/gossiping/etc; it’s about listening with an honest heart. They will help AFTER they finish listening. No wonder some people like to talk to their dogs. I know there’re people offering this service but there’re even much much much more people who cannot find someone like this. This one will truly help people in their times of hardship and hopelessness. Personal experience: I just don’t know how many times I wished for my parents to be like this. Can they even comment AFTER I finish my story? 3. I wish that my presence and action would make my and other people’s life better; without me knowing (personal wish, this will be my own power)
Why I wish for not knowing about it? It’s to stop me from being arrogant, from becoming big-headed, and from abusing my power. Power corrupts; I’m not Peter Parker and I don’t have uncle Ben. Also I won’t have to deal with stalking fans/reporter/paparazzi/secret agent/whatever that will undoubtly happen if I wish for, say, Superman-like ability. Personal experience: I’ve seen enough people fall because of their arrogance or because they abuse their power. The list includes several presidents, prime minister, and soccer teams. ————————————————————————————————-
Those would be my wishes…
