Hello myLotters: Now let's be completely frank, ok? There are some guidelines when you answer this question. Your answer must be a completely SELFISH WISH. It would be so easy to say that you want "world peace" or eradicate poverty & hunger or equal rights or something that sounds very noble and unselfish, when deep within you all you want is that diamond necklace you saw which is "to die for" - Right? That is exactly what I want you to wish for. Not what is good for your parents or siblings or the suffering etc. You can say you want to be the President of your country or buy a Ferrari or a house in Malibu or whatever, but it has to be what YOU most wish for. So come on, you all know what you most want to have or do. Let it out and we'll see who comes out with what. As for me, (apart from world peace' lol)I want to have enough money to go round the world and visit all the ancient, exotic, famous, little known, quaint, unusual, interesting, serene, chaotic, places in the world and take as much time as necessary doing it. Now you tell...

Hello My wish would be to have the money I need to do all the things I can't do right now, being job-less does not help so money will be the thing I would wish for, I am not selfish so I would help my family ofcourse, so my friend do you think this could happen lol Good question, thank you.

hi kitty: Wouldn't it be better to wish for a job that gives you a fantastic salary and then all your problems would be solved. Of course, you want to help your family and that's a very good thing. But will they not appreciate you even more if you get a job with a great salary and help them out. You see, people are a very disbelieving species. Can you imagine what they'll say if you got your wish for money and suddenly started spending lavishly while all the time they know you don't have a job? So how about amending your wish a leeeetle bit? Anyway I do hope your wish will come true very soon kitty. All the best.

So you do have money, but need more, don't we all kitty, don't we all? What if I really could become a genie with the wonderful lamp and grant all your wishes. But some of them could put me in great big trouble, like creating a new planet for someone to live only with the people he likes, or have the whole universe bow down to his wishes, wow. our people do have very high aspirations indeed. Happy mylotting friend.

Hi Sara101: How about you finding a partner who's really really filthy rich then both your problems will be solved at once. The other thing is Sara, one thing I know for sure is that if you try too hard to get a partner, you will never get one, you know why, guys get scared of girls who try too hard to catch them. So be yourself, sweet, charming and nice and wait for the guys to fall for your natural charms. You'll get your dream partner when you're not looking for one. In the meantime, be free and happy and enjoy your travels, cos' once you get your beloved (as you say), you might wish you were free once more. Anyway thanks for the lovely response Sara and I do hope that both your wishes will come true soon.

Hi: Great wish Tantrums. You already sound like th Book of Knowledge. But remember dear friend, it's not always a good thing to know evrything. People will call you "Mr/Ms knowall and they'll be jealous of you as it always happen. I'm sure you have heard of the saying "Sometimes its better not to know at all" or "Ignorance is bliss" I think that simple people are much happier because they live happily with the little knowledge they have than those who know much. Take us for instance, we surf the web daily and try to get as much information as possible and what happens? We know a little of everything and the rest we imagine and make our lives miserable thinking that we have this sickness, that disease or whatever. So that's why I think, its much better not to know everything. Happy mylotting Tantrum.

That's not selfish shimanja, that's normal. In fact everyone wants it but no one wants to admit it. But why not, if you want something, you have to try hard to get it yourself. No one else is going to give you all that, are they? And, if you want it bad enough, you can achieve it too. It is a great wish shimanja and I do hope you achieve it. Thanks for responding.

That's an unusual wish dhugoi. You mean live in it only with people you like. Not bad at all. Something like your private island I suppose.

Thanks for responding dhugoi. Wonder what you will call your planet; any ideas?

I wish that...every time I go to buy something and I stick my hand in my wallet, the money will be there. That's pretty selfish but would be so awesome if it ever had any possible way of happening. Its better than asking for a set amount of money because I will never run out!

If ever i have given any wish i would definetly ask for getting myself beautifull,This is the only thing that is making me depressed day by day.I am over weight which is making me sad and i just dont fell like moving out between people who look good because it embarrass me a lot.I just want to get thin like those good looking girls and move with a pride in this selfish world.

What makes you think you are not beautiful? Don't you know that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and although you think you are not, I'm sure there are many who admire and like you for yourself. As for being over weight, come on now, you don't need a wish for that, all you have to do is make a firm resolution that from TODAY, you are going to change the way you look, if you have to cut down on certain food, do so, do some good exercises daily, keep a diary and note down your progress. Buy some fashion item that you simply love but can't wear at the moment and wow to yourself that you will wear it one day soon. Now you have a target, so go for it and before you know, you'll have that perfect figure. Good looking girls are simply girls with confidence who believe in themselves. There are some not so pretty girls who, just by their walk, their talk and bright and cheery outlook make them very attractive. Don't just keep on thinking about it, DO something about it, and I'm sure your wish will come true. Come one Archie0, I know you can do it and I'm waiting to see how long it's gonna take you to do it. So Start TODAY, NOW, and best of luck to you.

hi suesan! i would ask for something with which i can become invisible for sometime and then i would be back into shape again. this should be there with me all life. with this i think i would have lots of fun in life and also i would do all that i wish to do. for this special advantage i would promise that i would never harm any living being for anything.

Good wish abanerji. Wouldn't it be really lovely if can become invisible whenever we want to. No one will dare say anything bad about us, since they won't know if we are near or not. You sound so sincere and trustworthy when you promise that you will not harm anyone, that I long to grant you that wish. But you know abanerji, there are some great men who are mentally on a different plane that their spirits can leave their body and float above others and watch wat's going on? So remember, your wish is not that far fetched and if you really achieve that kind of supreme state, your wish will be automatically granted. Good luck abanerji.

Don't I know it patofgold. We always feel that we have to be noble, talk of others, the world, the environment, poverty etc. politicians are always talking about what we should be doing for the country whereas all THEY do is get things done for themselves. That's why I wanted to be really selfish and really frank for once. There are so many nice things we want in life, but are afraid to say so thinking that people will call us selfish. I think we have a right to be selfish because we are the only people who can really help ourselves. So go for it payofgold. If its money that you want, I hope you get as much as you want and spend and spend and spend. Good luck.

Hi suesan - I will answer this honestly. I will ask god to make everybody happy. I should the word imports love, money, security, health, etc. So while I get it, others also get it. Once everybody is happy and content, there would be no wars, and therefore no need to ask for world peace. And poverty and hunger would also have to disappear. And I'd also get that diamond necklace, as it would make me happy, and so would u. :) It's only words, and words are all I have...

Good Girl vandana. All you want is happiness for everyone in the world and then you too would be happy. What a lovely wish.But I'm sure if people are happy all the time, they'll get bored pretty soon and want a change. Knowing 'people' don't you think that's most likely to happen? Man is never satisfied with what they have and keeps on wanting more and more. Like you say vandana, words are all we have and the best thing to do is use words lovingly and intelligently, and many people would be happy because a kind word can do more things in life than we know. Have a great day and thanks for your response.

Hey god is going to struggle to keep everybody entertained. So if a person gets bored, may be god will find something to make him happy before he faces that boredom. :) The ball then would be in god's court! We just have to take it easy. Nobody will be bored, because god will be doing the needful.

Hi earndeep/ Every wish is a selfish wish, but that's ok. You just say what you want most, so there's nothing wrong in that. My only question here is whether you joined myLot hoping to make a million dollars everyday? If so dear friend, better think of another wish because your wish while not being selfish, would be rather foolish don't you think? Million dollars daily? how on earth are you going to achieve that? If you know of a particular trick or plan, I'm sure all the myLotters would like to know and we'd be ever so grateful to you earndeep. Thanks and happy myLotting pal.

Hi suesan, If I were given one wish, I wish to have 3 wishes. LOL (^_^) Is that being selfish already? Well, kidding aside, what I was thinking was to have more money so I can buy everything I want. And yes, I love travelling, so I want to travel in all parts of the world. (^_^)

Thank you suesan. You're so nice. (^_^). I do hope I can travel one day, if I have enough money. I also don't think of money that way. I don't think it's the root of evil. It is the people that makes money evil. People who worship money and that desire of wanting more. Money can buy anything and everything we need for survival. I think there is nothing that money can't buy. Well, except for the intangibles definitely it can't buy one.

You are so sensible and so right in what you say shebang. Its "man" who changes the good to evil and that's why this planet has become such a terrible place to live.

Hi shebang: Money and travelling. not bad at all. if you have the first one, you can do the second without problem. My wish too is to travel and I also have a lack of money. So what it comes down to is "MONEY. if we have that, all our wishes would be fulfilled. Then why on earth is Money called the 'Root of all evil'? I guess it's pure jealousy on the part of those who don't have any. Jokes aside, I do hope your wish is fulfilled and I wish you the best.

Hi suesan! You are asking for a selfish wish? Yes, my one and only wish is a house and lot in my home country. For over three years my husband has been planning to build one but unfortunately he is always running out of budget. How I wish that this time he'll come to his senses and realize that we need a real home of our own rather than providing homes for his siblings. Good Day!

Hello seanbryan, you are having a different kind of problem arn't you? Isn/t there any way you can start planning on your house without completely depending on your hubby? I don't know what your circumstances are, but why don't you sit down with him when he's in a good mood and explain to him how much you yearn for your own house and that its time both of you thought of your family etc. Be nice, don't nag at him and i'm sure he'll see it your way. Make it sound really exciting, how both your family and friends and come and stay with you when you have your own home and all that sort of thing. A home of your own is a basic necessity and I do hope your husband will realize it and that your wish will come true pretty soon. Best of luck seanbryan. Thanks for your response

Hi suesan35, I'm a man here, To me Good relationships is the only needed thing for life...! So I wish to have good relations...! Money, Land, House everything can be obtained by us...! Selfish wish is the one which is nearly impossible to get it...! Here is my selfish wish: I need a very caring beautiful wife, She should be caring about me only and should not bother about anything and everyone else....! Her mind should be full of my thoughts...! She should understand even if I think in my mind like telepathy...! She should never leave me...! She should feel like we both are one and we got separated as boy and girl...! Don't think me as a cruel guy...! Me too will be same like this but I'm not beautiful but anyone can tolerate looking at me...!

Well, well, well, mynameiscindere. Your wish I think is the most difficult one to achieve. You see my dear, people are not possessions, they cannot be owned by anyone, the more you try to restrict them the more they try to break free. Tell me something mynameiscindere, would you want your beautiful wife to tell you the same thing as you told her such as you cant't bother with anything else or anyone else except her, etc.etc. Maybe it will be ok for the first few months, but once the glamour of being in love goes off, you are going to be stuck with each other and most probably start hating each other too. I also don't mean to be cruel, and I don't think you are either, but I think you should ease off a little. Remember one thing, the more you let go of a person, the more they will want to come back to you. that's life. Hope you are not offended and my wish for you is a beautiful, kind and caring wife with whom you can spend a happy life together. thanks for responding.

Not only my wife I wish this wish to all my relatives...! I meant Extreme Love and Passion towards each other...! May be my words misleading my Actual Thought...! But I wish to happen like this...! I'm not good at English in expressing like these Thoughts like extreme Love...! You know some fairy tale, like that Love...! Sorry for that...! Me too know that this is too much...! This in my selfish wish you know...!
