If you could have one wish for the future, what would it be?
What do you wish you could change about society?
What do you wish you could change about yourself, or the way people see you?
What do you want more than anything else in the world?
I'm just wondering what young people really want, what kind of expectations the world didn't quite meet.
I was inspired by Hiyao Miyazaki, and how he describes nostalgia, particularly this, so I thought I would post it for anyone else who may find it of interest. Here's an extract from Miyazaki's "Starting Point."

"Personally I was never more passionate about these things than when preparing for my collage entrance exams. It's a period of life when young people appear to have a great deal of freedom, but are in many ways actually very oppressed. Just when they find themselves powerfully attracted to the opposite sex, they have to really crack to the books.
"To escape from this depressing situation, they often find themselves wishing they could live in a world of their own- a world they can say is truely theirs, a world unknown even to their parents. To young people, fantasy is something they can incorperate into their own private world."

Note: I'll return critiques for answers, so do put some thought into them.
