If you could get one wish what would it be? I would wish for 3 more wishes. And on the third wish three more wish ect. Well just a thaght. Another question if there was every person in the world about to fall off a cliff and then the world paused rite before every1 fell off. There was a fairy of some sort in front off you and said you have a choice right now. It all depends on you. You get a choice of saving you and 3 of your friends/loved ones, or saving every one else but you and 1 other person. What would you choice? I would choice give away myself and another person. Plz anwser bye.

Hmm, well let's see. First, let me list the things I WOULD NOT wish for.

I most certainly would not wish for an infinite number of wishes. Can you just imagine how boring, pointless and depressing life would be if you could do anything without any effort? What would then be the incentive to do anything? For whatever the incentive, you can just as easily achieve it without doing anything at all... A person with unlimited wishes will quickly be wishing for death.

I would also not wish for eternal happiness because happiness is much more beautiful if one knows sadness, and much more cherished when it can be lost. Besides, the capacity for melancholy is, I feel and integral part of our humanity.

Finally, I would not wish for anything that would affect anyone other than myself. I do not think that I am very good at figuring out what is best for ME, and thus would certainly not trust myself avoid screwing up the lives of others with my well-intended wishes...

So, what would I wish for? I think that my most cherished wish would be to see the world through the eyes of another. Not merely exchange positions and bodies, mind you, but to see the world from their perspective - have their memories, their personality (and then, of course, have a clear memory of the experience the next day). It would be my wish because it is something that barring magic one would never be able to do, and because I believe that to so truly understand another human being would be beautiful.

Finally, as to your question of who to sacrifice, I would like to think that I would have the capacity to willingly sacrifice myself to ensure the well-being of others, but I do not believe that I can guarantee (even to myself) that I will answer this truthfully in the hypothetical. I think that any person would only be able to answer that completely truthfully if actually forced into the situation.

If I had one wish that could come true, it would be that the world return to the simple way we lived before but now with much more awareness and dedication in learning the foolishness of the sophisticated life-style we have today and all the anti-social people, and all the stress, weird diseases, pollution, war, and crazy people this sophisticated life-style of the "modern" era. The benefits of living the simple agricultural life under a government of philsophers would be tremendous:

1. Strong immune system
2. No hunger
3. No feeling of loneliness
4. No noise pollution
5. No air pollution
6. No soil pollution
7. No worry of finding a spouse
8. No worry of finding a job
9. No worry of money
10. No worry of getting raped
11. No worry of getting robbed
12. No worry of time
13. No division over race
14. No fat people
15. No lazy people
16. No depressed people
17. No anti-social people
18. No arrogant people
19. No cancer
20. No luxuries to fight over
21. No need for material things to make us happy
22. No boredom
23. No fear of poisoning
24. No division over religion
25. No division over race
26. No fighting over women

I would wish that I could go back in time for a short whle and meet The Savior personally, and talk to him, and get to know what he wants of me, and how I could best serve Him now.

I would wish that I could be the best person I could be.

If I could wish to save 3 persons- my daughter, my husband, and my father in law because they mean the world to my daughter.

Wishing for more wishes is cheating. With one wish I would wish to never be sad.
I would save me Shakira, Jennifer Connelly, and Selma Hayek, then proceed to repopulate the earth.
YEA!!!

One Wish: I'd wish I had the ability to stop time. *Think about it*

As for the whole sacrificing question
Well I’d go with choosing myself and one other.

I would wish for an unlimited amount of wishes. That way, I can wish for whatever I want, whenever I want.
