I wish

@greenparksgirl:

So are you suggesting that we should not wish, just because we’ll always want more?

I think if more people spent more time thinking carefully about what they should actually wish for, we all could probably figure out a way to make the world nearly perfect, through actions, and while we might “still want more” sometimes, the gap between wishes and reality would be far less disparate, and it wouldn’t hurt so bad to have to wish for even just a minimally tolerable life.

@PainNlife:

I’ll see your time machine, and raise you immortality, and the ability to shape reality with my mind… AND, for all humans to possess the capacity to attain that same thing, but through a process of earning it, that always creates an appreciation for using it appropriately, so that we could all work together to coexist, without anyone wanting or needing to hurt each other just to survive.

In such a world, “sport” would be “what can we do without using our special abilities?” Doing things manually would be /fun/, instead of the hard way that everyone strives to avoid.
