Wishes for more wishes

I think that many characters experience the wishing for more wishes so to speak. At the beginning of Act II, one of the characters sings “Wishes may bring problems such that you regret them. Better that, though, than to never get them.” I agree with this. I think many characters had to have this journey to make a point and to learn a lesson. They needed to go through this to become who they are/were. The baker became a whole new person after his journey. He lost his wife, and gained a child. In many ways I think that helped him. It was definitely a struggle but he gained so much more out of it in the end. 
I can relate to this. We all wish for cool stuff and fun things to have. I always wanted a cool car. Now this may seem selfish and/or self centered but, at that time it was what I wanted. After two years of having my beloved car, I crashed it and totaled it. It was emotional and hard to see my "baby" being towed away for the last time. This has helped me through my life though. That car accident helped me grow up! It also showed me that life is precious and I need to stop being so materialistic. Im grateful, in a way, that this happened. This has humbled be and helped me become a better person! 
I always will agree with this statement. Whether you like the outcome or not, the journey is what counts and the journey is where you will learn a better lesson. Wishes will be granted, but also will come with a price. The price will come with a lesson to learn and change you for the better!
