Wish

Today we are to decide what we would wish for if we could have whatever we wanted.

I have not really ever thought of my one wish. There are minor things that I could list right now that I would want but I really cannot think of anything beneficial long-term. I guess I would wish for a way that I could do whatever I want the rest of my life without worrying about money or status. Indefinite stability. Not that I would have anything I wanted, but whatever I decided to pursue as a career gave me everything I needed for expenses and just enough to cover my entertainment. Then I could do whatever I wanted the rest of my life, even if it was as something as dumb having a part time job flipping burgers I could still afford my house for myself and others, and my video games :)

Well then there is my other wish, to lead a long life. But then what if I do something terrible, or get caught as a prisoner for life, even tortured as a POW... then I would wish for a short life, not a long one. One could always look at their wish and see a downside. The downside to my other wish about stability is the lack of interest, monotony. I get bored way too easily without a challenge and eventually my life's work would become meaningless.
