when i was young i used to think if genies are real. I started to think about that when i saw the movie Aladdin. it was kinda convincing as if it's true, genies grant three wishes but they can't make someone fall in love with you. i think that's fair enough if you can have three wishes for free. if i have a genie i would wish to have a lot of wishes or shall we call it unlimited wishes..what about you what would you wish for??

I beleive in invisible sentient forces, like angels,demons,jinn, and ghosts. But I don't think it is wise to invoke thier help. How could a mortal know what sentient being is good and which ones are evil? In folk lore from all over the world evil is often personified in someone with a very beautiful appearance, like the beautiful evil queen. But virtues like purity and wisdom are also personified by a person with a beautiful form, like princesses. Also many stories center around this concept of mortals having no instincts for telling what supernatural forces are good and which ones are evil. For instance the one about the girl who gave an old hag a drink of water and then precious jewels fell out of the girls mouth, but her stepsisters refuse to give the hag water so bugs and lizards fall out of thier mouths. The Hag is a supernatural force for good. But neither the girl or her stepsisters see anything but an old lady. It is just that the girl is kinder and less judgemental than her stepsisters.
