I have a fantasy what if we could live longer than 100 years old this excites me I have so many things I want to accomplish I bet a lot of people feel enough is enough because of pain or finances or war but there is so much to discover in this world and so many people I’ve yet to meet how will I accomplish this in so little time do you remember I dream of Jeanie that would be a nice fantasy to have her at my disposal she would blink her eyes and voilà I would be granted my wishes so what are my wishes I would like my novel to be discovered and made into a movie so many people told me that it is worthy of that relatively soon I will publish a collection of psychological thrillers so that is my second wish for the book to be a huge success how many wishes will I be granted this is your stream of consciousness, so as many wishes as your little heart desires go for it okay hmmm two down more to go I want to sing in a band again with talented musicians sax trumpet upright bass pianist drums perfect how wonderful would that be again and I want to see my grandson grow up that’s everyone’s wish isn’t it but I truly would like to see what he accomplishes and my son too how exciting that would be I want another one of my art pieces to be in a museum the first one was a photo I am proud of myself that was quite an accomplishment but this time I want an artwork to be exhibited I miss having exhibits add that to the wishes I want to travel to so many different countries the list is endless I want to learn all their customs see magnificent statues and museums and bridges and historical monuments and rivers and mountains and oceans and learn to speak different languages seriously how can I die before perhaps 150 and see and do all these miraculous things don’t you want to live to see and all of this too the first part of our lives we wasted with worries and problems and arguments and illnesses and fears not everything was wasted we grew into who we are today but now it is time to grow into a superhuman if only we could be granted an endless life without regret. I choose this. maybe life is changing in this direction we just don’t see that yet what we see is destruction but maybe God will turn this around for us I should probably join a philosophy group and discover what others think about this subject philosophy is so deeply immersed in the development of life the revelation of life the exploration of life I cannot choose which I mean I probably am referring to all three I shall become a philosopher and give up my title of poet what do you think?
