I have stolen this idea from
The hypothetical situation: you are offered two wishes by a reasonably benevolent, very powerful creature able to do such things. You can be assured that as a rule, the intent of your wish will be followed, rather than the literal law of it: if, for example, you wish for world peace, the reasonably benevolent creature is not going to accomplish it by wiping out humanity and therefore getting rid of war. If you wish you had superpowers, you are not suddenly and permanently going to become a character in a comic book–but you’d better specify what powers you want, because otherwise you might get the not so useful superpower of My Hair Always Looks Terrific.
The rules: one wish must be world-level wishing, something that won’t necessarily do you personally any good but may affect the world as we know it. The other must be personal.
The catch: only one will be granted.
What are your two wishes?
This sounds fun. My world-level wish is to significantly improve the environment. I’m really impatient, so my personal wish is to not have to wait too long for things. This includes being stuck in traffic, standing in line, waiting for a package to arrive, etc. I think either of these things would make me happy.
This is very fun and I will probably steal it as well. Let’s see…my world level wish would be for clean, safe, renewable energy available to everyone everywhere. My personal wish would be for enough financial independence, discipline and talent to work as a writer and lighting designer full time.
