Wish things right

I was watching a show and a character spoke about how it "would be nice if we could wish things right."  But life isn't that easy, which I realize is stating the obvious. It would be wonderful is we could conjure a desire, or simply want something bad enough we could make it a reality.
But if everything we wanted was that easily attainable, the rest of life wouldn't be as pleasurable.  There is simply no way.  We would probably grow even more fickle and want everything- from big to little-with no thought at all of the implications.
