I wish I had gone to see a shuttle launch.
I wish we called them veteran’s memorials, and never war memorials. Wars don’t deserve memorials.
I wish I’d done more things that scared me.
I wish people would pay attention. Sometimes that seems like all it would take.
I wish everyone read "The Egg", by Andy Weir, and took it to heart.
I wish more families cooked together.
I wish more families did a lot of things together.
I wish bad things happened to bad people, and I wish I didn’t wish that.
I wish Albert Einstein had accepted the offer to be the first President of Israel. It may be mostly ceremonial, but I still wonder how the Middle East would look today if he had.
I wish I had realized how good I looked when I was 25.
I wish I realized how good I look now.
I wish no restaurant chain ever expanded past its home state. The exact same food everywhere makes us bland.
I wish a nation’s leaders still led troops in battle. There’d be a lot fewer battles.
I wish more Christians quoted Jesus more often than Paul or Moses.
I wish more Muslims quoted the Koran more often than the Hadith.
I wish I could take back every broken heart.
I wish everyone could find the words.
I wish we always elected the best people.
I wish we always were the best people.
I wish I’d been ready to meet her sooner.
I wish everyone could take an hour, every weekend, to lay in the grass somewhere beyond sight or hearing of anything made by man.
What do you wish?
