14 - Harmless Wishes

"If you had three wishes, what would they be?"

Trillions of money, a house, and an endless source of food, that’s what most people, would wish for. Or maybe, they'll wish for world peace, love and maybe more wishes. I, myself, would also wish for these things too. Life can be much easier. But, if I’ll get the chance to have three wishes from a genie, I wouldn’t be that selfish to wish these things for myself. Instead, I’ll wish for things an idealist would wish for, things that will be helpful and beneficial to the whole world. 

First, I’ll wish for the ozone layer to be repaired. If that will happen then maybe it’ll be less hot in the Philippines and in other countries too. Plus, global warming can be prevented too. Scientist would stop worrying because there will be no meltdown happening again in the Arctic region.  Yes, I know that this wish might ­be pretty useless since the world is still polluted and people won’t stop polluting it. But, this will be avoided by my second wish.

 To make all chemicals and elements recyclable and environment-friendly is my second wish. It’ll be awesome if plastic is not harmful and can be disposed of easily, and if chlorofluorocarbon is not poisonous and humans can breathe it like how they do with oxygen. Also, smoke from cars wouldn’t be bad for our health. Yes, at this point, I have turned our world into a fantasy land.

Lastly, I’ll wish that every person isn’t messed up as they are now, and that includes me. I’d wish that they’ll learn to love and accept others, that they’ll be able to learn how to forgive, and that they’ll be kind.  Then, maybe people would be less messed up and they’ll be fewer murders, and other crimes in the television and newspaper.

I don’t know what kind of world my wishes would turn out. But hey, this is why dreaming is free right?
