Note to self:

The genie knows the best way to use the wishes.

first wish:
I wish to know if you truly love all living things.

If the answer is yes:

Give the genie the back the last 2 wishes.

If the answer is no

Put the genie back in the bottle and hide it till the genie has found real love.

The best place to hide a genie is in the place you love the most.

Care for it and nurture it until it understands the meaning of love.

I haven't figured out what to do if the genie won't take the wishes, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

(Perhaps joy in the path that I choose, and a greater capacity for love)

That's pretty much the rough idea.

I've long had a genie idea knocking around in the back of my head that had to do with hiring a team of really detail oriented lawyers draw up thousand page wishes so that the genie couldn't pull any of that "granting the wish but in an unintended way" shit.

You might want to check out the Harlan Ellison story "Djini, No Chaser," which is about a unique solution to a genie problem.
