3 Wishes
I was talking with co-workers the other day and some how the topic of conversation got on "wishes".
I asked several of them if they had 3 wishes, what would they wish for. The range of answers that I got were interesting to say the least.
I thought I might ask the question in here to see what kind of answers I would get.
So here it is. IF YOU HAD 3 WISHES, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
My Wishes
1. Everything free for everybody--
(Got alot of negative reactions for that one. Still dont understand why though)
2. To speak and understand every language
3. More wishes.

Hi,
Feel free!
I would just like to point out that I did not mean it as a joke.
Of course, in expressing this wish I should also be including the wish itself which makes it a bit, well, complex!

Thats good, honesty and "KEEPING IT REAL" is whats its about.
after a while though "me me me" can become hell. Also living forever might become a bit hellish too.
As the old saying gose
be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.

Re: 3 Wishes
So, 17th, would everyone automatically be demoted to your level or below? In regards to your 3rd, I mean. Or would you magically be given more? Honesty is good, I don't presume to judge, but in such self-admittedly selfish wishes, how could you expect to fate, chance, or the world - however you may call it - to treat you favorably?
