    To have a house in the woods and not to need money.

    to have the entire planet live in harmony with all people and animals, with no government, no money, no violence, no greed, and tolerance, lots of tolerance....basically peaceful utopian anarchy.

    Peace, love and understanding. But it's ok, this wish will come true for everyone someday, some of us just take longer to realize it :)

    that the total human population everywhere was about 1/20th of what it is now, but all the stuff that is here now was still lying arround for anyone and everyone who wants it, with thus no one fighting over it, or at least if anyone were goofy enough to do so, that it would be easy enough to simply go where there was no one at all, let alone anyone who would or was. of course all the oil, coal and uranium would be long gone too, but plenty of cashes of photovoltaic and wind components could easily enough be found.

    same goes for university engineering libraries and the like. and there weren't any fanatics running arround trying to destroy them.

    My one wish would be for everyone on Earth to just love and be loved. How could anyone go wrong with this wish? It is calming just to picture ourselves living as we should be with one another.

    Wishing for fortune is pointless. True happiness cannot be bought, no matter how hard people try.

    this is absolutely true. but all the love in the world won't prevent anyone from inadvertantly creating conditions that cause suffering or even threaten survival;

    unless

    it motivates them to study and learn the mechanics of how ACTUALY to avoid causing them, not just assuming that because they don't want to that they won't.

    This question is a real mindfuck, and I've been contemplating it since I saw the thread a day or two ago... and I've come to an important conclusion.

    My obvious answer would be the same as linarflowermaiden - why wouldn't I just wish for total happiness, total peace and love and food and shelter and health and all of that for all humans? But then it just seems so unnatural to just rid the world of all of its problems with the flip of a switch. It just seems like humans are supposed to figure this stuff out on their own... sadly it looks like it will be a while before that happens, but at least we're trying.

    So if that wish is eliminated, then what? I'm not going to wish for something stupid like the ability to eat and smoke as much as I want with no health drawbacks or anything like that, or even a perfect wife or anything silly like that because again I think things like love have to occur naturally... so I guess the only wish I could really make would be to somehow be shown my correct path in life, what I am supposed to do... but yet AGAIN this seems unnatural! If I can't find my path on my own, then it just wasn't meant to be...

    So, I can't think of anything to wish for :( But I guess that's a good thing. Why disturb the natural order of things?

    I would wish for a third penis!

    But seriously folks.. This is a tough question. I guess I would wish that everyone had what they needed to be happy.
