Time Machine

I have been asking people around what would be one thing that they would want to have, no matter how magical or impossible it may be.

A lot of answers were things that were never really new.

Some wanted to have the person of their dreams. Some wanted to have their dream house. A house by the sea or by a place above the city to see the beautiful lights of the world at night.

Most people grabbed the magical things.
Some people want to have the power to be invisible so that they could see what others were doing when "no one" is looking. Some people wanted to get into people's mind. Know what they are thinking. Know what they are hiding. And a whole lot more.

But the most answers that I got were the ever so undying dream - to have the ability to jump through time. Travel through time. Time Machine. Time warp. Time Bending. Whichever way you want to call it.

Most would want to go back to the past to mend the things that they have done wrong. To make the present 'right'. It is a fact that we make mistakes. We regret these mistakes. We would want to do everything to go back and undo those mistakes. A natural human feeling - redemption. As a friend would put, fixation.

Others wanted to go to the future. Make time faster. Maybe because they want to see how their actions now would be of effect in the future. Maybe because they are waiting for something/someone, that they are at the mercy of time and waiting just isn't an option.

What if we can have the things we dream of? What if simply wishing would give everything we want? I can't help but think of the line, be careful of what you wish for. Should we really be careful?
