what is the difference between wanting and needing?

There is huge difference between wanting and needing so wanting means if we want particular item so we can treat that one as a wanting so if any item need for our necessity called needing so i think in this world so many people want need help and according my research 80% people need to minimum things.

wanting means..you're not sure that weather u can achieve it. Needing means..you'll have to get something.

wanting and needing are obviously different. it may be there is only a thin line between them. but they are something different. its like wanting is what you desire to get. needing is you are badly in need to get it.

To want something, means that you have the desire to have something but really don't need it or have to have it. To need something, means that you have to have that item in your daily life to be able to fulfill a task or problem in your life. We need alot of things in our life to live it right but we want alot more to make our life more better.

There is very little we "need" in life in terms of survival. The main reason we confuse ourselves in what we want and what we need is i think because most of us already have food, shelter etc. and so we move onto more pursuits that we might say we need eg. i need a new computer to play games on it.

Yes, the words needs and wants really differ. According to me, wants are based on our desires whereas needs are based on our necessities. Our needs sustains our living whereas our wants fulfills our desires. You must first target to satisfy your needs then focus on your wants because needs are more important and are the basics of life.

Let me put in a simple explination about need and want .. Everyone has many needs and many wants. Your child needs new shoes. You need to go to the grocery store. Needs are what you must have to survive and live. Needs are the essentials, the "must have's" in your life. A need is something you have to have, something you can't do without. A good example is food. If you don't eat, you won't survive for long. Many people have gone days without eating, but they eventually ate a lot of food. You might not need a whole lot of food, but you do need to eat. A want is something you would like to have. It is not absolutely necessary, but it would be a good thing to have. A good example is music. Now, some people might argue that music is a need because they think they can't do without it. But you don't need music to survive. You do need to eat.

According to me wanting is a desire to have something which you might not need;on the other hand need means a thing of necessity or that which is essential.Want can be equivalent to lust but need sticks to being a priority which cannot be curtailed.Want should be tamed but need cannot be overlooked.

Simple.. WANT is something you can live without while NEED is something you can't live without. A good example for this topic would be AIR. We all NEED air, we may not want it, but we can't live without it. So that clearly is a NEED. As for WANT. There are jewelries in our list, the huge flat screen monitors and HDTVs out there. Everyone have countless wants and what we want may not be wanted by others as well. But, plain and simple, we can live without them. We won't die for lack of jewelry, nor would be die if we don't have flat-screen monitors or HDTVs. Another is WATER. We may not want to drink water all the time, but we need to or else we'd die of dehydration. :)

Need is human requirement And want is human lust. The basic things we need for survival is human needs and the luxury and comfort we desire is want. Human need can be satisfied but not human wants, human wants are never ending and never will stop For once we achieve it we again desire for something new but needs are limited to mere survival hence they are limited.
