A friend and I were talking about what we would wish for if we were granted 4 wishes, what would they be? The conversation was pretty interesting. I’ve seen enough Twilight Zone episodes to not want to wish for anything, as each wish can have severe consequences. What would yours be?

My wishes would be:

1. To have 100% total memory recall of the past, the present and what is to become. This would be of my memories only and are of 100% accuracy.

2. To have a book of answers. The books pages will become full once I ask it a question of anything in the past and present. Such as, ‘what is the true nature of the International Monetary Fund?’, or ‘what are Matt Zuckerbergs plans for world domination?’ or ‘what are the Presidents true intentions and plans for America?’ or 'how did dinosaurs become extinct?'. The book will answer in only 100% truth and accuracy. The book will not answer to anyone else, but me.

3. To be able to zoom infinitely with my eyes. Such as, zooming into an office window 2 miles away, or to see the craters of Mars in minute detail, or read the smallest text from any distance, etc etc. . An amazing ability when paired with total recall!

4. Lastly, to wish perfect health to me and all of my friends and family for the rest of our lives, ridding all current ailments, diseases and disablements.

The end!

Enough money to be comfortable, don't need to be rich.

For my children to be able to follow their dreams and do well.

Health for myself and all I know. (yes, even the in-laws)

1) Health insurance (but perfect health so I wouldn't need it would come first)
2) Stop aging and go back to when I was 30
3) Retire and able to live comfortably
4) Go back to the 1970s era (with the medical advances)

1. To have my daugther back.
2. To have the rest of my deceased family back, especially my aunt who I hear such wonderful things about, but who passed away when I was 9 months old so I never knew her.
3. To have good health.
4. To have enough money that I wouldn't HAVE to work again, and that I could live wherever I want.

1. Human enlightenment (defined as the embracing of reason and humanistic ethics and the eschewing of organized religion).

2. A planet free of pollution (as enlightenment would bring us the motivation to find ways of doing things without creating any).

3. An end to the great scourges (poverty, war, etc., again, this would come through human enlightenment).

4. Six winning numbers.
