Genie : What do you desire?


Genie says,
"People may look down on me for the bad wishes they make for themselves. And the rest, I guess they're just jealous.
I smell like metal cause of all the time I've spent in my lamp. But I'm telling you, I'm not a machine, despite the way people forget me in their own selfish demands no matter how much it taxes me to give them what they desire.
What do you desire? What do you truly desire?
You seem so sure of what you want. But what if that's not what will satisfy your heart?
Why do you think you know so well?
I'm a genie. I've seen my masters and mistresses, for centuries, wishing for things that don't bring them what they really wanted... And that is, happiness.
But who am I to say anything? My job is only to give you what you think you need.
Some ask me how life is in my lamp....if I feel crammed up in that small space there...if there's anything I keep there.
It's like I'm asleep when I'm not busy granting wishes... I have no possessions but I'll give you everything you ask.
I have nothing to do but to serve you. And I do enjoy people realizing the greed of their hearts and what that turns into. I enjoy people being disappointed and empty by reaching their goals without the lessons and character building of the journey. But I'm sure everyone will realize one day, it doesn't take much to be happy.
Trust me, take it from a genie."
