[ wp ] You stumble upon a genie in a bottle , instead of granting three wishes he gives you three choices . End world hunger , stop all current and future wars or find out what 's in the box .

5 Years have gone by and I've always wondered whether or not I should have ended war. Wars seem to be quick advancers of technology, medical breakthroughs, transport tech, computing you name it. We still kill and fight for territory, for power for fun. But at least we can eat. 
 
 I ended world hunger. Not that we do n't still have the need to eat it's just that there is now food available to all who need it. You can starve your damn self but I've gotten you the ability to eat. Anorexics still exist and people can still balloon up to hundreds of pounds but we can all eat. 
 
 The box was never a choice. It's always the choice of the curious and the foolhardy and not a day goes by that I wonder what the trap was. In every city and every village now there's a table that has food for the taking. Some tried to control the tables but people quickly learned that as long as 100 people lived in an area, the tables would appear. 
 
 The food is n't delicious. It's a spread of some sort of bread and a pitcher of water. You have to come to the table to eat. This has made for some strange occurrences. The transportation of food is now only for variety not necessity. Some people live entirely off the tables. I myself prefer Doritos. 
 
 We can now wage war more quickly, and supply lines are now more about medicine and killing devices. Strange that those are bedfellows. The problem with any wish is the price and it seems my price for hunger is war. 
 
 Everyone is aware of M.A.D. so it seems we have much more horrific small scale weapons. You do n't need agents of mass destruction when mines and bullets do the trick. We're destroying the land but it's not as big a deal since we do n't need to farm it any more. 
 
 I solved one problem, I made the world a better place. I did my part. I keep trying to say that. But over and over I'm made to realize that, If you are to be human you must continue to strive. You can not rest at a single problem solved no matter how big. It may be the most important thing you've ever done but the work does n't stop there. There is more to do. 
 
 Maybe if I had ended war the hunger would have been the easier problem to solve. I thought I had `` Done my part'' but it turns out I ca n't wash my hands of this. I just wish I knew where to start.
