What happens if eternal happiness and good health count as 2?

I don't think you can be very happy if you aren't in good health hmm smilie

I would imagine it wouldn't be hard for the infinite powers of a genie's magic to constantly and permanently stimulate the pleasure center of our primitive brains regardless of any other external or internal influences.

you wish for more genies that can grant you wishes

@Puroboricua13 you wish for more genies that can grant you wishes

Or you could write a list and say your first wish was for everything on that list to be yours then write another one and say you want everything on that list to happen so yoi have everything you want/need and am extra wish just in case also sorry for spelling/grammar/punctuation I'm on my phone.

YOU CAN'T WISH FOR TRUE LOVE IT'S IN THE RULE BOOK!

@biondello YOU CAN'T WISH FOR TRUE LOVE IT'S IN THE RULE BOOK!

the rule is that they can't make anyone fall in love with anyone else. If you're wishing for true love, you're not wishing a specific person fall in love with you.

Make sure to specify the recipient.

@1042172 (Anonymous): If you have an unlimited amount of money then you can probably help other people... if you're that kind of person

If you do that, money will lose its value. If you have unlimited money, the more money you 'create' the more it will lose its value.
Irrelevant to this comment but I also disagree with the other wishes...if I have eternal happiness, I will never realize the value of it. I believe that true happiness comes only under two circumstances: 1. When you least expect it and 2. After much sorrow.
If I was given good health I'd not take care of myself or my body.
We all wish to find true love but if we KNEW for sure that a certain someone was THE ONE, we'd take them for granted. Knowing that this love will last forever anyway, we'd not put in as much effort to make it work.
I believe that the most important thing in life is mystery. It's the UNKNOWN that keeps us going. I don't know if I'm going to have a decent job and that's what drives me to get better grades. I don't know if I'm going to have good health and that's why I want to live a good life and not smoke or do...

@If you do that, money will lose its value. If you have unlimited money, the more money you 'create' the more it...

It's not like the bureau is going to start printing more money... the money only goes to you. That's like saying, just because Bill Gates has a billion dollars his money is no good... it's still good, because there aren't that many people as rich as him. What's the difference between an unlimited amount of money and billions of dollars? It's not like a person can spend all of it in one life time....

I DO agree with your second one, but I can argue it ffs. If you're eternally happy, that means you won't experience sadness. So it's like being eternally neutral... you might not experience "happiness" but you also won't be sad. Besides if it's a wish, then it doesn't have to be logical, you can forever be joyful... I dunno. I don't think genies are limited to common sense.

If doing bad things won't harm your health then why worry about it?

Getting to know your true love might be fun, but spending time with them is just as good (which allows you to get to know them)

@KickAss It's not like the bureau is going to start printing more money... the money only goes to you. That's like saying...

If the money is not being printed, that means the world is getting poorer because of me. All the wealth is coming to me and giving away a part of it to other people doesn't make me a noble person.
Who, in his right mind, would want to spend his mind feeling neutral? Happiness and sadness are emotions and what is life without these vital emotions?

About health, I can't really express this in the right words....but it's like telling yourself that you love yourself. Just like how you take care of someone else, they feel loved.
Love would lose it's value as well, if there was anticipation at all. If the genie told me you were my soulmate, I'd still want to get to know you but I wouldn't put in as much effort to impress you or do sweet things for you. ;)

It's a frickin GENIE, it's magic? There doesn't need to be a logical reason as to where the money comes from... he could be turning sperm into money for all it matters....

I don't know Anon, if I could be in a pleasant mood all the time, I would choose that over sadness and happiness combined....

I hope you're not a guy anon un smilie

If you shoot an immortal guy, then he'll understand that you're just doing that for the heck of it. Just like that I'm sure your body will understand, if you don't treat it right. Besides, your stomach naturally craves fast and unhealthy food. I'm sure you'll only make it happy :/

Anyways, you can still do all the things to impress or be sweet to your love, it's your choice. If you're that kind of person, then no matter what you'll be sweet, if you're not then you won't.

@KickAss It's a frickin GENIE, it's magic? There doesn't need to be a logical reason as to where the money comes from... he...

If he's turning your semen into money, it's just like 'creating' money and as i mentioned above, the value of money will go down.
If you were in a pleasant mood all the time, you would forget what not being in a pleasant mood was like. And being in a pleasant mood will be like being in a neutral mood.

Of course I'm not a guy. And yes I could still do those things...but why would I take the pains to do that when I already know you're mine?

@If he's turning your semen into money, it's just like 'creating' money and as i mentioned above, the value of money...

NO the value of money won't go down (the genie won't let it). One person cannot change the whole economy, it's like Bill Gates I mean he has an infinite amount of money, but you don't see price changes, because of him....

I think you're missing the point of magic... the genie will make it so, you won't forget, so you CAN be happy all the time!

Good and why wouldn't you do all that? Me being yours shouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you're sweet or not. That's like saying, "Why would I have sex with you, if I already know you'll have sex with me anyways?"

@KickAss NO the value of money won't go down (the genie won't let it). One person cannot change the whole economy, it's like...

Bill Gates has a lot of money, not infinite amount of money. If I had infinite supply of money, I could buy EVERYTHING. And I would. I would try to own everything that exists in the whole world. Every company, property and service. It'd change the whole working of the economy.
I'll try to frame it a little differently:

You have just bought a game of sims (your life). Google (genie) can give you cheats for everything - money, relationships and your moods. You can use them and have a perfect life in no time. But where's the point in that? The point of the game is to have fun, and work towards your goals. If you get everything so easily, it'll never be of any value.

You'd buy everything? That's such an asshole move.

Yeah I mean I didn't say it was a good idea, I mean these are the wishes the op is making. In addition to that, we could continue this argument with, what is value? If you're happy, then does value matter? Think of it like this, google having one last cheat, that makes you satisfied....

@KickAss You'd buy everything? That's such an asshole move. Yeah I mean I didn't say it was a good idea, I mean these are...

Why wouldn't I want to buy everything? I can enslave humanity if I own everything. :)

Then why wish for three wishes? Why can't the OP just ask for one wish...to be satisfied with whatever he has...throughout his life. Then as Piper mentioned, he could use the other two wishes for someone else. And we wouldn't be having this argument.

It's not Valentine's day yet... but if it is where you live, then Happy Valentine's day to you too....

Btw if you ARE who you think you are, then you better watch yourself! Cuz I will be. wary smilie

@Ar...Are you Jesus in disguise? :-S

What does that even mean...? I mean if anything, I guess I'd be Santa, but I mean I don't see what that has to do with anything....

I would probably say permanent as opposed to eternal, I don't want to live forever.

does anyone else want True love in front of unlimited money?

not to sound ridiculously cheesy, but i think with true love comes eternal happiness

@SamG not to sound ridiculously cheesy, but i think with true love comes eternal happiness

Yeah, but even with your true love, you'll have tough times.... It's not all sunshine and happiness

@KickAss Yeah, but even with your true love, you'll have tough times.... It's not all sunshine and happiness

oh i totally agree. but honestly, who wants to be happy 24/7? i know someone people say they would, but idk

@SamG oh i totally agree. but honestly, who wants to be happy 24/7? i know someone people say they would, but idk

Change it to some* before time runs out and I dunno... op I guess, because it's with sadness you realize happiness, if you're forever happy, then you'd just be indifferent?

@KickAss Change it to some* before time runs out and I dunno... op I guess, because it's with sadness you realize happiness...

damn! i xed out before i saw that comment and couldn't change it. and yeah i think we need some sadness in our lives to appreciate happiness, so i think with true love we'd have a nice share of happiness to keep a healthy balance in our lives

What happens if money becomes worthless? I would wish for wealth. Wealth just seems more open ended to me than money.

StickCavemans avatar StickCaveman Yeah You Are +5Reply

I would wish for:
1. The ability to share dreams with someone else. So if you dream about talking to your best friend, they would be dreaming about having the same conversation (so your minds would be talking to each other.) Only you would be able to control who you dreamed with.
2. No more global warming.
3. The oil spill in the gulf to be cleaned up.

If you had all of that, life would be kind of boring, don't you think?

Anonymous +3Reply

if you wished for eternal happiness you wouldn't need money or true love because you'll be happy with what u have

1. I wish to have all your powers with none of the restrictions, including the need to be confined within any object or the need for someone to command me to use my powers before I'm able.

There, now you can do absolutely anything you want without the assistance of a genie.

I'm definitely going to favorite this so i can refer back to it if i ever get three wishes.

jsleepyjeans avatar jsleepyjean Yeah You Are +2Reply

Since you cant wish for more wishes:

1. "I wish that I could wish for more wishes"
2. "I wish for infinite wishes"
3-Infinity. Everything you could ever want

I would trick the Genie into granting me wishes, but then call him out on it, saying I still have 3 because I never said "I wish..."

thats 4 wishes not 3

Julesybellss avatar Julesybells Yeah You Are 0Reply

it seems like true love wouldn't be as "true" if wished for. even if you did have infinite amounts of money, it probably wouldn't solve that many problems. it might even cause more. as for happiness and health, sorrow goes with happiness. you appreciate being happy so much more if you've been sad. i'd rather be sad then feel nothing at all.

If you can't wish that you could wish for more wishes, you should wish that you could wish that you could wish for more wishes.

Or something.

you can't have unlimited money... then you'll have unlimited taxes

@Nerris you can't have unlimited money... then you'll have unlimited taxes

You don't have to report it... Besides who would believe you found a genie?

@Nerris you can't have unlimited money... then you'll have unlimited taxes

With unlimited money, you could

A) Buy enough muscle and munitions to, with 0 trouble, overthrow any government body which would try to tax you
B) Buy off any number of government officials to work deals with you so you don't have to pay unlimited taxes
C) Pay them. You have unlimited money, so if they took unlimited taxes, they would need taxes from no one else and you would be hailed as a great hero for eliminating taxes for all, single handedly reversing the recession and balancing the national deficit.

Take your pick.
