What I Would Wish For

If I rubbed a magic lamp, if I gained a genie...

What would I wish for?

I would wish for this to stop.

All this violence that never ever ends.

But...

Every wish has consequences.

Plus, my wish isn't specific enough.

Here's a new version of my wish:

"I wish for violence to not be the norm, for people to be able to make peace without war. That they would want to as well and know that no one in this country wants their loved ones to die in battle, no matter how honorable it is."

Yes.

That's my wish.

That's what I would wish for.
