Setting aside the wonderful work done by the Make-a-Wish foundation, wishes are just that - unsatisfied wants and needs.
It has, however, occurred to me that in the event I am incorrect and a metaphysical being or apparition appears and offers you the chance to have any wish granted -- even just one -- there is only one correct answer:
More wishes.
Yes, I know; in most cases of literature and entertainment, the wish-granter sets down ground rules prohibiting that sort of thing. But a little wordplay can get us around that. I can’t wish for more wishes, you say? Then I wish for you to give me the ability to fulfill my own wishes. Alternatively, I wish for omnipotence. Can’t do even that? Fine. Grant me unlimited resources. I’ll just make my wishes come true with infinite wealth (which, of course, would utterly destroy the global economy, but let’s not get in to that right now.)
My second wish would be for immortality, with the third wish being the ability to end my own immortality at any time of my choosing. I imagine being unable to die would be a horrible fate around the time the earth is destroyed.
Everything after that is just gravy.
