    Okay, let's try this.

    Every single human being, gradually, develops empathy and awareness to how their choices affects themselves and others.

    This is to happen over a period of a year and will not lead people to despair but to understand the poor choices they have made throughout their lives and lead them to live better lives, with no malice arbored towards others and themselves.

    This effect will include the granter of this wish.

        Everyone can now shape-shift into a perfect copy of any other person that they've seen. Society collapses due to lack of trust. (You said everyone can "now" and "this has always been". Hence, rewriting history was a second wish.)

                  If things improve around you, you're benefitted yourself. Pay attention.

                  And there is no temporary clause in what I stated.

                  People undergo the process during the lenght of a year. The outcome permanence is not dependent of that window of time.

                    How about we avoid things that target all people without any conditions about how the goal is achieved.

                      Eight people are now standing in your living room; it's two pairs of the alternative rock band "Kitten". Looking at their other selves, they start panicking:

                        Yeah, but you're going to have to put in the work to empathize with us to understand what you've put us through. So it will be pretty obvious to everyone you made the wish because you'll be having to think through answers to questions about empathy that will be trivial to everyone else. You have a few months to practice, you should get started. I think this will be a good exercise in empathy for you as you wont have a crutch.

                        And there is no temporary clause in what I stated.

                        You never said for how long.

                        Yes, so the wish can end as soon as the minimum duration you specified ends.

                              Thanks for illustrating the point. I wish that didn't happen, so that all life was not eradicated.

                                No, it doesn't.

                                The magic effect is on the triggering of the process to start to develop empathy. Forcefully. The empathy itself is yours, even after the event. And the magic being. Lets see if they like having a conscience. Does not get cancelled. The event does.

                                I did not state a temporary duration for the effect of the outcome of the process. There is no temporary clause on that. The time frame is established for the duration of the process.

                                And what is the down side on the first part of your remark?

                                The event lasts one year. And it is gradual. It is not a snap of a finger and people become highly empathic. Everyone else will have a more accelerated growth, granted, but I'll be forced to grow in tandem.

                                  But what if the kids who use jetpacks without helmets go on to cause more net harm? You know they would.

                                  So technically, wishing to cancel all wishes that cause any harm can cause more harm, and thus the wish cancels itself.

                                    This is a small one, but can you please make it so that all menu descriptions actually list all the major dish components so I'm never surprised by secret onions or mustard again?

                                    Edit: oh no I've been reading your monkey's paw responses.... You're gonna make restaurants disclose everything clearly but ensure that onions and mustard are in every dish from now on, aren't you?

                                      That's awesome. Humanity will eventually figure it out, but it'll be literally impossible to concentrate power.

                                        Fully automated luxury queer space communism, in the sense it was conceived at (as opposed to you interpreting the words yourself), instantly, with everybody’s belief system magically adapting as if they had lived in this new society for a few decades. As a result, everyone adapts immediately, without negative result on anyone's mental or physical health, and without anyone being brainwashed or changed in a way they wouldn't have naturally changed if they had time to experience living in a community that they can trust and that cares about them.

                                        In other words: Iain M. Banks’ Culture decides to bring Earth in, but magically instantly.
