Question:

If you found a bottle on the beach, and out came a genie, what would your 3 wishes be?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Ah - how many times was I musing about that. That is a very tricky question. Those genies are not stupid!

First of all one has to be very careful what one wishes - because a wish cannot be recalled. Lore has it that there was someone very greedy and he wished that everything would be gold. Well - all his food that he touched turned to gold and he eventually starved to death.

Then there is the matter of what really happens after a wish is granted. Is human nature capable to deal with "perpetual" boredom where nothing ever changes??? Well - that notion is not conducive regarding happiness. Suppose I wish for eternal youth...... That wish would be disastrous for obvious reasons. Having an endless money supply...... well, buying toys all the time eventually becomes a very boring thing.

I think I prefer to have no wishes or just pass them on...... I'd rather enjoy the turns and twists of life, its ups and downs. :-)
