Coming up with a realistic wer is very difficult because one always wants to maximize the benefit of one’s three wishes. Considering which wishes might be enpassed in other wishes is crucial. For instance
requesting infinite wealth may seem like a great first wish
but upon greater reflection
asking to live forever would eventually allow you to achieve the same goal. Not only would your investments have more time to grow
but book and television deals would keep you in the flush for centuries. Flawless beauty is another mon wish. However
it would be silly to wish for beauty when you could wish for attractiveness instead; for attractiveness is the underlying purpose of beauty. Of course
you could make all of your wishes irrelevant by simply requesting everlasting happiness. Happiness is the goal of money
fame
power
beauty
and any other desire. After all
even if you were poor
unknown
weak
and ugly
what would it matter if you were absolutely thrilled with life? If I had three wishes
though
I’d be careful about asking for such all-enpassing things. The benefits of any good thing are bound to fade when there is nothing bad with which to contrast it. If you were always happy
then happiness would turn into a standard
unspecial state. Even a wish as wonderful-sounding as living forever would backfire because life is validated by death. If we were able to live forever
our time would bee worthless. There would never be a need to seize the moment because infinite other moments would lie ahead. Therein lies the quandary of all-enpassing wishes: they eliminate risk and uncertainty
rendering life unexciting. If I had three wishes
I would ask 1) for myself
my family
and my future wife and kids to live in perfect health for 150 years
2) to be told the meaning of life right before I die
and 3) to be able to fly.
