~Wishes~

The older generation alway tells us to think before we do. Beware for what you wish for. Plan it through before go on with it. There are many mythical ways to do a wish. Monkey Paws, Rabbit's Foot, Candles on a Birthday cake, and so on... But do they really come true?

Now, IF you have Three chances or Three wishes, what would you wish for?

Most commonly ones are~

~ Money (Millionaires, billionaires, zillionaires... with many zeros in the bank account)

~ Beauty (Most pretty, handsome, elegant, charming...)

~ Fame (I'm sorry, but there is a paparazzi in the bushes, one behind the walls, another at the window...)

~ Talent (Musician with degrees of science, maths, language... Such big brains you have...)

~ Time (Yes, we want to live for a long long time so that we can see everyone else died...)

~ A chance to redo (Rewind and do again. Those high-tech remotes that lets you to do anything.)

~ A perfect partner (Ma'am, the computer you wished for have arrived.)
~ Another three/four/five/unlimited wishes

Next. WHY? Why did you choose for that? Let's see. 

The first one, you don't have it so you want more. Greed.

Second, other people is more pretty than you, so you want to be more. Envy.

Third, you have the beauty/charm/whatever, so you want to sell yourself at a higher price. Vanity.
Fourth. Fifth. And so on, so on...

For each and every one of them, the causes for people to do the wishes are quite on the negative side. However, these kind of wishes are more focusing on the people that have a smooth life. They might not be successful, but they are still having a life that are better than some people across the world. They wished for all those things are due to the fact that there are still people out there that have a better life than they. This reveals the GREED in human nature. They are not satisfied at all.

Nevertheless, if the wishes are given to a desperate person, for example, a person that have a family member that is seriously injured or sick. Or they are in economic crisis. Or it is a life or death situation they are in. For them, it is another chance for living. A chance for them to save their own or other people's life.

Everything have two side, both of the Good and Bad. We cannot just focus onto one. Yes, humans are greedy, but if we do not have the nature to try and gain for what we want, the world would not improve, even ourselves would not improve, in knowledge or resources wise. Thus, it is not a bad thing to wish, hope or pray, just don't take it too extremely.
