Summary

This quote suggests a cynical approach to the "wish business." It implies that the main purpose of fulfilling someone's wish is to give them exactly what they desired, but also what they didn't truly want or need. It implies a sense of irony or malicious intent, indicating that granting wishes can be a way to highlight the consequences or unintended outcomes of our desires or decisions. The statement perhaps serves as a commentary on the complexities and shortcomings of our desires and the irony that can surround them.
