Desire is almost or exactly similar to need, depending on how you see it. When you want something, it's just that. Want. You can do/live without it. When you desire something however, it's almost like you can't live without it. You Yearn for it, almost to the point where you need it.

For example, many Christians (non hypocritical, God-Fearing Christians) Desires God's Grace, Mercy and Love. They Yearn for it.


By it's very definition though, a desire is a wish or the wanting of something. You can desire something you need and need something you desire, but "desire" in and of itself means "want." This is where I was unsure of your meaning.

Christians desire God's love...they yearn for it. "Yearn" is another synonym that simply means "want" or "wish for" isn't it?

I love semantics. Really. One could desire both wants and needs.


One could desire both wants and needs.

What you are saying is that "desire" does not mean "want" or "need" but some third thing? Either that, or it means "want"...to wit: I could wish for something I simply want or wish for something that I need to have. But it is still a wish...a want.

Anyways...

To answer the question I believe is asked in the OP:

What I desire out of life is to help others to be happy. To see those that I love succeed. To be remembered well.

And in those things..to be happy myself.

So a desire is a need rather than a want?



Your neighbor desires your wife; but he wants to live.

What are some things that you desire? Not want or wish you had, but you actually "Desire."


I desire universal Love. What a concept... everyone Loving everyone. That's our ticket out of here, I promise. Next stop, Utopia.

Freedom from being a caretaker and live my life not feeling tied down.. doing my own thing.. I want that more than anything and I sound horrible I'm sure to some but it's stressful dealing with older ppl especially when it's stopping me from getting my life on the ground



ah how things can change in a little time span. I made a selfish act for myself that was well deserved. Finally doing something to better myself and I have no regrets. It's so much easier to breathe and be happy when you take your life and steer it the direction you want. now what are my desires? next thing would be to just keep working hard so I can achieve my life goals.

What I desire is.....

To be loved by someone. To graduate from a University with a Bachelors Degree and to be completely successful. Overall, to be happy and content.



I think everyone desires happiness. It is how will result in happiness that people differ...
