If wishes were fishes

I'd be hip deep in herring! Many PostCrossers want to know about wishes, like Isebelle:

If you could realize one simple wish, what would it be?

My wish is always the same: peace. It's not such a simple wish, however; and that's what she asked for. A simpler wish: for the number of socks going into the laundry to equal the number of socks coming out of the laundry.

My usual desire

From Portugal, on a very cool card, comes this question:

If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?

As usual, I want peace. I would change the tendency humans have to violence.

Make War, Not Love?

In Italy, someone is wondering

Do you think war could be fair?

I am a pacifist, so I have a really hard time with this concept. Intellectually, I can imagine someone constructing a "thought experiment" in which armed conflict proves to be the only solution, but emotionally, I cannot imagine that scenario in real life.

Still the same

Anais from Barcelona invites speculation on this idea:

What would you say if the whole world listened to you for a minute?

First, I would get the whole world to promise to not only LISTEN to what I had to say, but to REMEMBER it and then ACT on it!

Then, I would ask everyone to chill out, calm down, and make peace. (Peace: it's my thing.)

Most? Hard Question

Onute, who is 15 and who lives in Lithuania, wants to know

What would you like to experience most in life?

For me? That the people I care about have contentment and happiness in their lives.

For ALL of us? Once again, (see posts from October 18, November 7, and November 23) PEACE.

See Previous Question (and the one before that)!

Amy, on a postcard with art from one of my favorite artists (B. Kliban, famous for those cats!), asks:

If you had the opportunity to get a message across to a large group of people, what would your message be?


Peace (the previous message)


Love (the one before that)

The OTHER Perennial Puzzler

Love bewilders us, but so too does this question from Portugal:

When will there be peace on Earth?

Not soon enough for me,

See Previous Question!

Ephemeris, from Portugal, asks

What is your biggest hope?

Check October 18.

Sometimes, it's simple

Silvi from Germany asks

If you had one wish - anything possible - but only one wish, what would it be?

Really easy for me: PEACE.
