Making a good wish

"Mirror mirror on the wall show me how I look to all"

Or most . . .

Or maybe just the people who love me. . . .

Wishes are complicated, so maybe it's a good thing many of them never come true.

Making a good wish requires careful thinking.  (I learned that from cartoons and fairy tales!)

There are the social obligations to wish for:  world peace, people getting well, no global hunger.

There are the personal ones:  make me skinny, or eternally young, or forever healthy.

But I usually opt for, I hope I am always as happy and contented as I am now, or more so, which seems like a more reasonable wish.  It relies on the fact that I know I am someone who cares about other people.  That if things improve in this world I will feel better, but I don't feel qualified to choose which things, or to decide how they occur.
