One wish

If you had one wish, what would you wish for? More money? Health? More time? More love? A better job? Better body? Happiness? A super power? A cure for cancer? Knowledge? World peace?

As I started thinking about this, I kept coming back to one thing -- money. I feel back about that. Money isn't everything. Money isn't a LOT of things. But... Money can HELP with a lot of things.

Looking at my list above...

Health. With more money, you have access to better care. Better doctors. You could fly to German or Switzerland if that's where the best surgeon resides.

Time. There isn't a way to slow the clock down yet, but with more money, you could hire someone else to do some of the things that you're responsible for (cooking, cleaning, working, etc), freeing up more of your time.

Love. Money can't buy real love, but money can buy enough fake love to make you think it's real love.

Job. If you had all the money you needed, you wouldn't need a job.

Body. Money could buy cosmetic surgery, or limb or organ replacement.

Happiness. Whatever makes you happy could be increased with money. If happiness is a particular food, or place, or activity, money can make it happen, or make it happen more often. Even if your happiness is obtained by making other people happy, more money would enable you to make more people happy.

Superpower. More money spent on R&D is leading to things only seen before in science fiction. How much of the cool hi-tech stuff seen originally in Star Trek or Wars is now common place? Personal communicators, seeing through walls, flying, robots, even invisible cloaks are here, or right around the corner.

Cancer. We're getting closer every day. Additional monies would help speed the process.

Knowledge. Whether it provides access to more knowledge directly (memberships, etc), or simply facilitates that collection (world travels, etc), money can even help here.

World Peace. I'm sure that there's a connection there somewhere.

I know, I know. We've all heard the stories, or seen the TV specials about how lottery winners lives have been ruined by money. I'm not saying that's not true, or that it wouldn't be the ultimate outcome, but used wisely, by a wise person...

It's a sad, but realistic, fact I think...
