Yesterday I listened to an episode of Podcastle titled "the cup and table" and it really got me thinking. It's about a guy who works for the bad guys but ends up alone with the Grail and a wish to make.. Now I'm sure everyone remembers thinking about whAt they would wish for if they won the lottery or whatever, but I don't know if it's thing I'm going through with grandeur scopes of religion and philosophy, but if it was just me and time stopped and part of my wish had to be bringing the world back to the way it was, I'd want a perfect memory, long life, and the ability to try everything. (Sorry if this isn't the easiest of concepts to relate.)
Now, when there's nothing else how can you think about yourself? Of course I'm tempted to be selfish, and wishing for someone's companionship is what the guy in the story does..
