I don't know about wrong but I don't think it's possible. Even wanting nothing (and to be left alone about it) is to want something. It's like wanting to stand still in life and not be bothered; can't happen, time is passing, people/one's self is growing older and people continue to come into and leave out of one's life, etc. Nothing stays static/stationary.

But it actually takes a lot of energy trying to stand still, resisting the flow of life around one. I'd rather make up my mind to spend my energy braving the rapids in a kayak; much more fun and exciting than just tumbling end-over-end in terror, cold and wet, hoping I don't hit my head on a rock.
