      It has nothing to do with your motivations and emotions, it has to do with the definition of the word ‘wish’:

      “Feel or express a strong desire or hope for something that is not easily attainable; want something that cannot or probably will not happen.”

      You can’t want something and not want something at the same time.

          Using a very pathetic insult from the 1980s on me repeatedly will not change the fact that you can’t want and not want something at the same time. Sorry, you don’t have reality-defying powers.

            insisting on a linguistic distinction of nuanced cognitive concepts doesn’t make you look any more like a human than some online AI bot (which is how I’m going to view you from now on).

            Sorry. I don’t cast my pearls before swine, so just go figure it out and stop talking to me.

              Ah, I get it now. You actually think you have the power to alter reality at your will. That does explain a lot.
