Make a wish. For three days, this paper, I have stared at it. What possible wish that one would write would come true? It is that damnable question all over again. What do you want? Maybe, maybe, there is more that is wanted than one can say! Did whomever asked that question ever thing about that

Perhaps you want too much, then.

[proudambassador]

My good boy. There is no such thing as wanting too much. When limits are placed on wanting, what then does anyone get? Nothing.

[andcountry]

I thought one got peace of mind. Wanting stuff all the time would get tiresome.

[proudambassador]

So you would not want to sleep more, or eat something enjoyable at meal times, or be warmer, or cooler? No. Wanting, it is part of life.

[andcountry]

Those are the kinds of wishes one can grant oneself. Perhaps I'm easier to please than most, but I don't know what I'd wish for if I had the opportunity.

[proudambassador]

They are still wants. And one wants all of the time.
