What would you wish for from a genie?  |
| |
| I don't know from whence came the idea that genies (or djinn...which are actually very powerful demons, according to scholars of their cultural origins) grant 3 wishes. If you read any of the 600+ "Arabian Nights," genies often stayed with their "masters" for life, doing many things for them (Even Disney's "Aladdin" got that right. Oddly, though, the story was originally set not in Arabia, but China!). Just for the purposes of this discussion, however, you're limited to 3. I've always wished for all the money lost before a hundred years ago (so I wouldn't get anyone else's money who's still living, & needs it), to be perfectly healthy, & finally, to always be understood. We can putter around for my thought process behind those choices, or do as my title up there suggests, i.e., tell everyone what you would wish for, & why. Your ball, friends!

| | I think I would wish for some time off. My husband and I both work seven days a week right now to make ends meet. It would be nice to be able to drop down to 5 days a week and have a couple of days off. | | | | | | |

| | Good one! Some people would choose to just not work yet be rich. Wise folks understand the value of work to one's sense of well-being. But you still have 2 wishes! Is there naught else you could wish to have or do or be? Even for someone else? Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?" | | | |

| | My wish is a simple one. Hope people around me are safe from bad things happen. It's really sad when really bad things happen to the people you know or around you.:( | | | | | | |

| | Hi Maggiepie! If I were granted 3 wishes from a genie I think they would be for #1 me to be close to both my sweetheart and my family (as they live in different states), #2 that my family and I would always be provided for and #3 for my family and I to always be happy. I know they're not elaborate, whimsical wishes but I really focus on the simple things to make me happy. :-) | | | | | | |

| | I like your wishes, very interesting choices. I can think of about 100 things I could use right now in the way of help but since we're only allowed three, I guess I'll have to think carefully. Number One, would be like yours, to stay healthy for many more years to come. Number Two, would be to have a little bit of money to open my own small business. I don't need alot, just a little to get me going because I'm a hard worker, just out of work right now like a million other people. Number Three, would be that the business would prosper so I can help my daughters out and be happy when I leave this world. Like I said, there are a ton of things I could wish for right now but I think that would do me just fine for the moment, and I'd be happy... | | | | | | |

| | HaHa, I have to agree with you on that one...I'm poor and unhappy right now. That's why I thought I'd be nice and just ask for little things, lol! I don't need no more bad luck! | | | |

| | 1. To be able to master any skill within 1 month (playing an instrument, lockpicking, heart surgery, etc.) This would also indirectly take care of any money-oriented wishes, and probably any romantic pursuits as well. 2. Anytime I think of an awesome idea, invention, song, or movie, it is automatically karmically "patented", meaning everyone else in the universe is excluded from thinking of it and doing it before I get a chance to. 3. And last, World Peace! hahaha! | | | | | | |

| | I guess the first wish would be to get unlimited wishes. Just kidding. The first one would probably be to be content inside. The second would be health. The third and final wish would be to be able to help people in any way they needed help. I think that having unlimited money, power, or any other temporal wish would never be completely fulfilling. If a person is happy inside and content, has good health, and is able to help people then what more could they ask for. In this way a person truly lives life to the fullest. | | | | | | |
