Could you come up with 3 uncorruptable wishes.

In old stories Djinn weren't always nice about the way they gave out their wishes. Unlike the modern genie they often tried to twist them around on their masters. If you somehow came into posession of an item a Djinn was bound to & given 3 wishes could you come up with 3 that couldn't be twisted & what would they be? I'll go ahead & kill "World Peace" right now. The only way ( & by far the easiest ) for their to be world piece would be if there was no life on the world. A desolate rock would be pretty peaceful wouldn't it?

Wish 1. I wish to know the best ordered pair of wishes that cannot be corrupted, misinterpreted, twisted, etc and that would also produce beneficial results Wish 2 and 3 I wish the answer to wish 1. Easy all the best urban

So wish 1 would again be knowledge. Besides the giant carniviorous chicken we have running around now the Djinn wouldn't have had much to work with.

Hi, uath.....I don't know about the 'couldn't be twisted' part but all of my Djinn's have been fairly peace-loving and granted my wishes forthwith. If I encountered an untrustworthy djinn I think I would be extremely leery of any wishes. However, given your parameters, I think I would wish for general knowledge and then for the wisdom to use that knowledge wisely. I'd save the 3rd wish in case I needed it to undo any mischief the 'jinn' would do while granting the wishes (such as destruction of the djinn-bound item).

Knowledge & wisdom = Intangibles. You might be onto something there. That would be incredibly hard to corrupt.

All it takes is to be specific. I would wish to be the sole winner of the powerball lottery on a certain date, I would wish for a house to be built on a particular lot from all new materials gotten honestly, and for a brand new Cadillac Deville that was gotten honestly. Remember the saying "Be careful what you wish for"? That's all it takes!

That should be a house with all new material with specific specifications.

In our modern world, everyone already contaminated their mind with those corrupted wishes. Nothing we can do to make it work better. The only way we wish for that is not corrupted will be we wish the love ones to be happy, and that is most un - selfish thing we ever make.

Couldn't that force them to be happy even in a bad situation then? They could be trapped smiling even as someone was beating or torturing them.

This wasn't intended as a game as such. I saw another one earlier & it got me to thinking about the Wishmanster & Leprecahn movies. You didn't want those guys granting your wishes. What could you wish for that they couldn't corrupt? Knowledge & wisdom have been suggested already & seem to be the only things that couldn't easily be turned on you.

Couldn't the Djinn create a giant chicken? You might look yummy to that! More wishes just means more chances for the Djinn to get you.

I had always thought that I would make two wishes then wish for 3 more! I would wish that my family and friends would have fulfilling lives first. Then I would wish that our government leaders would work to fulfill the spirit of our Constitution. My third would be that all people would have a working conscience. I think that would make a world that was nice to live in.

Knowledge, wisdom & good morals & joy. So far the intangibles seem to be the most uncorruptable.

1. a zombie knocks on your door. 2. a second zombie knocks at your door. 3. a third zombie knocks at your door. You get your wish, you jog away hoping to not get eaten by your zombie relatives.

I recently heard a line from a movie on this question, the boy three wishes ... and clear clear answer: "I WANT FOR WISHES 1000!"and I told my child to my mind that 1000 sounds good wishes ... one for mom, one for Dad, it's perfect ... Looking back desire but from a completely different angle I realize that my wish was fulfilled. I never wanted to be fulfilled wishes, I wish I had 1000 wishes, of hopes. And they come by one, every one since then ... Some come true, others are to be fulfilled. Eventually it's important to want all my heart, to have wishes to be fulfilled, to fight for them and that it, the universe will fight alongside you for their fulfillment. Ever wish you desire, a new hope yet!
