Comment: Wishes, by definition, are: ‘things hoped for that will probably never happen’. It is interesting that many things have happened through the earth’s history that should probably have never happened – so we keep wishing. A wish could also mean a desire to be involved; perhaps when we get involved, we can make things happen that ‘would probably have never happened’. When people do not get involved for whatever reason, then maybe that’s why wishes don’t come true.
