If wishes were horses
There's a common phrase that suggests that if wishes were horses, beggars would ride on them. As factual as that is, I equally think that if wishes were horses, there'd be no horses. There's so much hate and love in the world right now. I somehow feel like more people are in a bad place.  Well, I could be wrong.  If these guys, whose hearts are drained of anything joyful, could wish, they may not necessarily want good things. They may want everyone to feel what they feel. I think pain and grief make us find comfort in odd places. In the absence of love, what naturally tickles feels like piercing with needles. So yeah, if wishes were horses, there'd be no horses for the beggars to ride on. This could be because those who are wealthy may not want the beggars to change status! In another vein, I think it's a blessing that we don't always get what we wish for. Imagine if you could have all you want. It could mean having everything everyone wants or currently has in their possession.  Similarly, if wishes were horses, we probably wouldn't have wishes. Yes! This is because some people would prefer that we all suffer or have no means of attaining our goal. If wishes were horses, we'd all probably be dead. For real, though, imagine that much power in the hands of humans, who I believe are largely crazy! Someone would probably go THANOS and wipe us off the surface of the earth. What's your take on this? If wishes were horses, what do you think would happen? Learn Unlearn Relearn
