This comment is art.
At first, having witnessed a birth, I thought "even seeing your kids birth is rough... I think you'd feel pretty cheated out of a powerful wish"
And then I thought "That's some high grade narcissisim to even imagine that"
But then I thought about that, despite how gross a birth is... You'd get to see your parents young. In a moment that you'll maybe live yourself one day. In a terrible moment... But maybe (hopefully) shining as their best strongest selves through it.
And now I think that's my wish too... To get to see my parents when they were younger and dumber than I am now.
