1) To be able to travel forward and backward in time as often as I wished. This wish alone would help obtain many other sub-wishes, such as buying a parlor sized grand piano, because I could predict the stock market and make millions.
Essentially, this wish would address almost all of my material needs and wants.
2) To stay 25 forever, whilst possessing a mind that learns without crystallizing in old age, without senility or dementia. This, together with wish #1 would enable me to see all of the world.
3) My last wish would be that no infants or children would ever die. Once they are mature, nature steps in and culls the species as always (or man himself as in wars, crime etc.), with the same unbiased scythe, but at least there would be no child deaths. This kind of death is the most painful and saddest of all the kinds of deaths. I understand nature's need for death and even its benefit, but to keep children from dying would remove some of humanity's suffering and mourning.
