Black People : What is your Understanding of Wants and Desires?

peace,

IMHO

one can only "want" something because of a lack of knowledge on how to obtain that which causes that wanting energy..

if you want something how come you don't already have it?

To "desire" is an aspiration after a certain amount of knowledge of what one "want's" has been attained. Though, that knowledge still has not fulfilled what she/he "want's"...

if you desire something, you must not have the knowledge to obtain the same....

"needs" are something we all are born with.. but our needs change according to the same knowledge that controls what we "want" & "desire"...& it will vary, especially considering the atmosphere in which we were raised!

if you desire something, you must not have the knowledge to obtain the same....

Let me share why I wrote the post.
In the post I said

I want to Lay with You
I want to Stay with You
I want to Play with You

I was looking at my woman, I wanted to wake her up.
The thought came over me to whisper those words, into her ear.
Early morning stirrings:pie:
So I decided not to break her sleep.

one can only "want" something because of a lack of knowledge on how to obtain that which causes that wanting energy..

Wanting is an energy, but I have to disagree. Wanting does not always come with a lack of knowledge of how to obtain it.

Thanks for the reply Info-moetry
 
I think wants and desires are the same thing. To desire is just a stronger description of the word want.

To need is a necessity. Something you must have in order to survive/function properly.

:heart:

Thanks for the response PurpleMoons

I agree.. I didn't wake my woman because I didn't have to be with her so bad to disturb her sleep. She loves her sleep.. so i didn't need to wake her to survive and fuction properly. Ok.. I did want to wake her :uhh:
 
wants and desires are synonyms

needs are as u state necessity

s.i.n. is a selfish inconsiderate need or a want

hodee what it all boils down to is being satisfied with u

the truth is

if u get to a point where u can let go of all ur desires or wants (including eve)

then u can commune with the gods within u and also calm the beast

they all exist right within

the son of light ... what exactly does that mean?

that means that the sun is the center of the universe

the sun sustains itself

so at the center of u is a light

find it

exist

and then

ask the universe for ur wants or desires

and i can promise u that if u do that

ur wants will change because

ur inner light

will guide u

to the right (not the left ... ps. r&b stand for reagan and bush)

Thank You Miss Lady

s.i.n. is a selfish inconsiderate need or a want
I check myself in all facets of my life ( work, home, and play ) so I do not place my wants or needs onto anyone. So I consider myself considerate.
I know most times I end up without, because I live this way. In hindsite I have no regrets.

hodee what it all boils down to is being satisfied with u
I am at peace. I am stisfied with who I am. No regrets... that is how i keep the peace within.

Thank You for your response Miss Lady... your response is deep and I will keep it in mind. I know there is no perfection, and I continue to work on being a better person everyday.
 
Hmmm yep! the two meanings are pretty close.. Infact they are both that I'm going to say.. they are just different words that actually mean the same thing :) i.e you would perhaps just use them in different contexts like -

1. I desire that woman ..she's beautiful Or
2. I want that Man .. he's sooo handsome

If you were to ask the difference between WANT and NEED then my conclusion would be different altogether!

Thank You for your reply

This is exactly the Dilemma...the diffrence between WANT and NEED. How they can seem to overlap and become interchangable. Please explain what you understand.

HODEE, HOW ARE YOU LONG TIME NO HEAR......
LISTEN, WE ALL HAVE INHERANT NEEDS. NOW ARE THEY SINFUL OR SELFISH, WELL, I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE CHURCH YOU GO TO. WANTS AND DESIRES, ARE NOT SELFISH EITHER, THAT IT IS WHAT KEEPS US STRIVING FOR CERTAIN ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN LIFE. IF YOU DID NOT HAVE THESE WANTS OR DESIRES(WHICH BEGINS WITH A THOUGHT, RIGHT?) HOW WOULD YOU RECOGNIZE THE NEXT MOVE TO MAKE, TO MAKE IT HAPPEN? I'M CONFUSED, IF I WANT OR DESIRE A HOUSE(SHELTER) THEN AT WHAT POINT WOULD I REALIZED THAT? IS THAT SELFISH? OK, I THINK IT IS OK TO BE SELFISH AT TIMES. BECAUSE IN THESE SELFISH TIMES, YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, FOR WHAT EVER REASON, BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT ATTITUDE, THEN YOU WILL NOT EVEN BE HONORING YOUR GOD SELF! NOW IN YOUR CASE AS STATED, WHY YOU WROTE WHAT YOU WROTE, THAT, I WOULD SAY WAS LUST:donttell: AND YOUR WIFE, YOU RESPECTED ENOUGH NOT TO THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN NEEDS(SELFISHNESS) TO WAKE HER. HOW CUTE,:luvv: BUT WE DON'T KNOW ALL THE DETAILS OF THAT, MAYBE YOU WERE IN THE DOGHOUSE, OR JUST MAYBE, YOU FELT YOU WANTED HER FULL ALERT ATTENTION,(LOL) TO GET AT, THAT. (SMILE) :blowkiss:

DON'T TRIP HODEE, YOU KNOW WHAT'S WHAT....

PEACE
