The young philosopher said, "I wish that my thoughts, actions, and wishes will bring only good and no harm into the world, or into being, or to anyone." The genie looked surprised, then said, "Granted," and settled back to listen.
The young philosopher said, "I wish to be a genie unto myself and others for as long as I want to and whenever I want to, able to give to myself and to others."
The genie said, "You asked to bring only good and no harm into being." The philosopher nodded. "Then you asked to be a genie, able to give to yourself and others." The philosopher nodded again. Suddenly the genie knew what this meant. "But you are repeating yourself!" he said.
The young philosopher said, "I know," and walked away.
The genie ran after the philosopher, shouting, "Master of the universe, teach me!" "But you have already realized," came the reply.

Hi,
That is very cool, Starman. Thanks for sharing! I think I might print it out, I like it so much. Ah mind power. Only the last step is needed, and that would be having no wishes at all because of true fullfillment.
But in a way, it was said, without being said, cool!
Have a good night,

I like that story too. That's what we need around here, more stories!  |
