Want and need may seem the same at 1st glance -but I doubt it. Probably somewhere in Taos’ “Art of War” it mentions something about wanting/needing from others -and placing yourself at a disadvantage.

Many people do not know if they want something, need something, or desire something. They are often unable to distinguish between a want a need and a desire on their part -because they know not themselves.*

Anytime we want or need or think we want or need something from someone we place ourselves either at a disadvantage or in a position to be hurt (dissapointed). And yes come a people can actually instill in us a sense of want or need that places the individual at a disadvantage or a position to be hurt… or put another way 🤔, places the other individual at an advantage. Operating from a base-level, advantage is always a factor man seeks out!

Jesus had only 1 or 2 wants or needs (desires -not likely):

•To do His Heavenly Father’s work

•To be loved by us

While I don’t believe Jesus was ever placed at a disadvantage** (if there was any disadvantage “per se” -it was “Part of the Plan”)*** he was certainly in a position to be hurt -and He was!

*And this is all the ambiguity satan, or man needs to exploit….

**Lettuce talk for a moment about Jesus… What did Pontius Pilot say? “I don’t like him, He refuses to behave like the others”. Exactly! Jesus didn’t buy into any of the things that placed us at a disadvantage to satan or to our fellow man! To moths, thieves, father-time… 🤷‍♂️

***”Part Of The Plan” is a song from Souvenirs, the second studio solo album by the American rock singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg. The album was released in late 1974, on the label Epic Records. The album reached No. 17 on the Billboard 200 in March 1975 and was certified double platinum by the RIAA. Joe Walsh produced the album and played on ten of the eleven tracks.
