#4 - Wishes
Frequently joked about, but it does give a good insight into the mind of a person- If you get the Alladin's Genie right now, What three wishes would you ask for?
Somtimes on first thought the answers feel superficial. I would ask for a billion dollars, or most beautiful looks in the world, or even some sort of intelligence. Usually pertaining to personal gains solely affecting the wisher. (can the Genie be called a Wishee)
On further thought we could literally cure hunger, stop or even reverse global warming or advance mankind to an extremely advanced civilisation. Get answers to questions we always have wished for, what even is the meaning of life? Thinking about this has a tendency to make you feel overwhelmed. Having wishes is an overwhelming situation in itself but the fact we get only three increses the pressure ten-fold.
I haven't thought that much into it honestly but I should and eventually edit this post accordingly? Maybe or maybe not.
Wish #1
For the first wish I'd ask for A ZILLION DOLLARS!
jk (just a little bit though T_T)
Seriously though what I'd ask for is, control over emotions. Some sort of switch that I can press and it should turn off for a pre-determined short while or like knowing the reason why I am feeling a certain way and how to change it.
So many decisions, choices, actions. I have fucked up so many things just because I didn't have the control over my emotions. I got severly depressed, fucked up all relationships, had a huge slump. I'd like to not go through all that again if I could.
Wish #2
For the next wish I'd like every single person on the planet to be much much smarter than they already are. Imagine if every person was smart enough to realize truths that were previously a blur. The societal dynamics won't change because everybody got equally smart, but mankind would progress at an even exponential rate.
Get some sense into people about fucking up resources on earth ffs.
Wish #3
Finally I'd want a superpower of pyschic abilities. The power to know what one is thinking, to delve into their consiousness and know what buttons to push and what drives them. Controlling minds could also be included I guess, but in my opinion the ability to read minds already gives you every bit of control over a person, making them do things on their own accord due to making them feel a certain way would work so well. All that will be left is to paralyze me from waist down and legally change my name to Professor Amlan Xavier Parhi.
So that is that. See you next week
