If you could have one super-power, what would you choose and why?
Also, is technology sort of a super-power? Long distance communication, fast travel, A/C to keep cool in summer heat and so on.Financial wand!
Poof you have money! Poof you also have money!
… tied with the Health wand!
Poof you’re healthy! Poof you’re healthy! Poof you’re healthy!
When you rub the jug and the genie comes out you’re supposed to get three wishes, not just one.
“Joseph-why stop at 3”
That’s how many wishes a genie traditionally offers you for freeing him from the jug.
Teleportation…. hands down.
litvishechossid: True, but it depends on where you are in life.
If you’re on or close to the bottom of the hierarchy of needs, money and health are huge foundations.
At least, that’s one genuine perspective.
If you work as a doctor, healing powers are especially useful.
RY23: Especially if you’re currently an unsuccessful doctor, lo aleinu.
I would choose to have the ability to see into the future and know the exact way moshiach and Geula will unfold…
Unless that’ll take the excitement out of it… So maybe also the ability to experience the jewish life and atmosphere from past eras…
Ability to instantly translate Aramaic and perfect retention to texts.
One super-power- to be SuperMom: to always stay calm, know the right answers to give the kids, take care of all their needs without getting burned-out, be totally giving without feeling a loss of self, expertly deal with tantrums and all the challenges that kids have, know how to solve learning disabilities, social issues, anxieties and phobias, and run a super-organized, clean, orderly home with 3 balanced home-made meals a day, and managing to do all this after work-hours.
LS, I think even you would say that all that perfection is not something you can achieve no matter how much you work on it or daven for it.LS, I thought this is a fantasy where we get to choose what power we want..I choose being a supermom. Didn’t ask for perfection in the rest of my life.
As for studying psychology, who’s going to take care of the kids and deal with all their challenges when mom goes back to school to become a psychologist? Ahh, but that’s where being supermom comes in- can do everything listed in my last post and study towards an advanced degree.Lightbrite, won’t the money magic cause inflation?
A common answer to this question is flight,
but invulnerability is probably most useful.If healing superpowers work fast enough and strongly enough, they are almost as good as invulnerability.
(This thread has a terrible title.)
RY: Only if everyone else had the magic money wand, and/or it was used without discretion.
Thanks, LC, but it hasn’t taken effect yet.
You may consider the title fitting, but it’s not informative.
You do need to judge a book by its cover. There isn’t enough time in the human lifespan to read every single book, so we need to narrow down our selection.
Hey, LC, it’s starting to work- I had too little sleep last night but wasn’t grumpy and was able to be calm with my kids. My tantruming terror actually had a good day today and even offered to pay me some of his own money to make up for the way he has been behaving lately (I turned him down, and told him his good behavior is all the payment I need)! The house is neat, bedtime went smoothly, I have all the ingredients ready for tomorrow’s meals. Make way for SuperMom!
Yeah, but all those things belong to corporations that control our lives.
