It literally can't be both.
Says the same reason you can't go up and down at the same time.
Yes, that is another good example. Something cannot be both an apple and an orange, much like you can't wish for something to happen but also don't care whether or not it happens.
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.
Ah, I get it now. You actually think you have the power to alter reality at your will. That does explain a lot.
