Let's say you were granted two wishes.
One had to be an UNSELFISH wish that would benefit mankind.
One had to be a SELFISH wish that would benefit you.
My wishes:
UNSELFISH - The everyone looking for a job right now would fine one.
SELFISH - That I looked more like Tom Cruise and less like Rick Moranis.
What would you wish for?
By the way, you CAN'T wish for MORE wishes! :)

UNSELFISH-No more Bigotry
SELFISH-Me starring on Broadway
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Selfish: To be able to afford a decent appartment in NYC and have the voice/charisma to succeed on Broadway
Here in this cold white room tied up to these machines, it's hard to imagine life as it used to be. Laughing, screaming, tumbling queen... Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen. Whirling, swirling, never blue... How could you go and die? What a selfish thing to do...
