A very famous mythological trope is that of the genie in the bottle that grants three wishes.
More often than not, these wishes end up working against the person who makes them.
Because most genies are not kind and understanding.
Any loophole they abuse to rain down ruin onto those who disturbed their slumber.
As such, most people do not know what three wishes they would make.
Many who do not think deeply might go for "wealth" and "beauty" and "success".
Me myself, I have known my three wishes for 20 years now.
It is these:
1. I wish that each of my later wishes is NOT superseded by my earlier ones
2. I wish kindness and happiness to everyone I care about (which is the majority of the world population)
3. I wish that I had never been born
That is what I want.
That is what I have wanted for a long, long time.
I hope this is enough devoid of loopholes that some tiny amount of good might come of it for others.
And I hope that final wish would finally give me some peaceful oblivion.
