A magic genie and 3 wishes

If only you could have a genie to grant you 3 wishes what would you wish for?

Well of course this isnt probably my original idea to write my post on but its only because I watched a video of people around the world answering this question. And surprisingly the answers seems to be given by a same person.

Here's the video of course if you are interested- The Genie question

What my take away from this was it made me realize how shallow our thoughts about the world are and how easy things seems when we remove all the hurdles in between and add the world "Magic" in it. If you watch the video of course you will find out that most people value their happiness, and their family and money which would make their families happy and of course world peace.

You will still find the same thing wished by a black skinned man sitting in dark as well a white person sitting in a well lit cafe or a small kid living in slums or a beautiful girl sitting in a beautiful garden. What does that tells us? Isnt its rather easy answer to all our doubts and fears from some another part of the world which is not us?

After watching a huge amount of hate and racist behavior not long ago, I personally felt so hurt. It was like watching a modern world take a step back into the darkness where there was suffering of people only because of the differences of their races and color of their skin and the dialect of their languages.
Every time when I read any book regarding this racism issue I feel the same kind of sadness which shakes me to the core the same way it does when I watched people getting beaten by whip. And the only question which is left unanswered that - Is this how hard it is? To give a freedom to another person same as us with flesh and blood and feelings to feel comfortable in their own skin? Why does it takes decades and decades to accept something which we were meant to accept in the first place?

If all the people were Tall and handsome and fair and beautiful and blue eyed would you have admired the beauty of them?
If we all looked like the robots molded out of the same mold would you have accepted that as an equality?
Maybe that would have been better ! at least then there would be no racism term neither all the questions that has left us stunned with the amount of cruelty.

There is a quote in "To  kill a mockingbird" which was my favorite for a long time. This is when Atticus says to James- “You’d be surprised how hard that’d be. I won’t live to see the law
changed, and if you live to see it you’ll be an old man."

I was happy because the world back then had changed, It had given opportunity to a man without considering his race but only his ability to do a job. But then after few years world still had the anger and the same frustration for the race. And now its not only for the race but for religion and for a person holding different values and a different gender suffers from it. ''

I'd just like to say this for the years I will have to witness,

“I have witnessed how hard it is. But I'd like to stay alive till I see the laws changed and more than laws, I would like to see people change so that we wont need any laws to be enforced on them to treat everyone equally."

#Electionnight

So this is my morning starts with a panic attack maybe. As after month and days spent while watching the sudden shift in world where anything you can say as a Probable US president while campaigning your way to the white house.
And till today morning I was absolutely sure that the results will be absolutely clear after the drama that whole world witnessed. But even then, here I am, a someone holding her breath and feeling as if this is something like a black death or a meteor hitting the earths surface while Trump takes lead.
I was looking for the newspaper to find something in it, while the news of 500 and 1000 rs note being disqualified from our economy in search of black money flashes on first page while I dive into the page 8-9 where news of American election might be. And my mother says the news is on first page while I leave the newspaper laughing at our situation when something happening across the worlds end seems more important to me than what has happened in our own country. But isnt everyone(who were aware of the fact of Trump's so called "great big beautiful" presidency) feeling this?
Many the times people need this kind of moment shift maybe, so they can actually feel like living. and then some phrases start to pour themselves as "WWIII, racism, ignorance, disrespect of women,  use of neuclear weapons , a big big great beautiful freaking wall, and what not' I see  the destruction needs only fewer and fewer steps to win.

And it did change, the moment when I was standing among group of people who were absolutely unaware of the fact of consequences of something happening far beyond.
Maybe it is true that there is Happiness in Ignorance. Perhaps I would have been one of those people leading their lives unaware of anything at all.

Maybe I did witness the "World change here today" moment, but I really didn't want to. Or maybe I dont want to be in the world where change meant witnessing something horrific as this. Or maybe I should rather focus on page no. 1 in our news paper rather than digging for 8 or 9 who knows.

So while I helplessly watch someone setting an example of being conservative is a good thing, assaulting women is a good thing, not helping the people who needs help is a good thing, being a racist and insulting war time heros is a good thing, not paying taxes is a good thing, being unaware to listen to the cries our planet sends every day is a good thing, saying lies in front of thousands watching and then denying it in front of the same people is a good thing and ... also this all makes a country great, and despite of all that you can and will still win in this up-sided down world I think to myself that what sort of world we might be leading on.

But of course a but is always there isnt it. I guess I am gonna have to keep hell of work into myself while adjusting to the new situations and tackling such more shocks after this. And more than that I guess I will have to be hell of a mother to set an example before my future off spring that this wasnt what we were. It was just so out of control and we were a victim of it, just born at the wrong time to witness a tragedy.
