Is there anything for which I would willingly surrender my
life? Believe me. I have lots of wishes. But to make them happen -- well, don’t ask me to sacrifice myself. My
life is more precious than mostly absurd and trivial wishes. For instance, I
fervently wish for the Chicago Cubs to win the World Series this year. And for
Donald Trump to overwhelmingly lose the presidential election. If an all-powerful wish-granter came to me
and announced, ‘Your wishes will come true. But only if you are willing to pay
a price. Your life.’ I would reply,
‘Forget it.’ Better to continue living for a few more years. Coping with life’s many disappointments.
After all, there’s so much good stuff mixed in. I don’t need everything. --Jim Broede
