Someone strong, someone smart, big or fast, rich or skilled, beautiful or rough, the list goes on and on.
If there was a time limit to this wish, most would answer with rich, unless they have actually felt bullied for not having one of these qualities.
Does that mean these qualities are a necessity? Maybe yes.
Does it mean if you were average, and you couldn't choose becoming rich, the other options might be less meaningful? Why does being rich feels so important? So you could buy everything money could buy. But then what? Isn't the reason you would wish for being rich is that you have heard or seen about the leisures a certain rich person enjoys? Won't your friends be jealous of you? Cursing you and your luck? Try not to invite you in few gatherings, time and time remind you about your money, make those jokes which only your other friends would laugh at?
Isn't that similar to abolishing someone? Would being abolished by your friends be worth it?
Won't your family share your success story with your similar-aged-cousins and siblings? Would that be psychologically acceptable by them? Would they be able to cope up with this pressure? Would they be able to truly treat you like an equal without being humbled inside?
Is money worth it?
You could disagree with me that I'm being negative, and your friends are your buddies for life, and how your family share and unbreakable bond. I hope I am.
But I would go back to first question now. If your friends and family are so perfect, then why do you want to be someone else?
