Need is always in a same threshold level. So it never changes from individual to individual. On the contrary, desire varies on each single person. Like, Maslow’s theory of need’s hierarchy, first three basic needs, physical needs, love and affection need and social security needs are inevitable needs. But ego or esteem and self actualisations are desire of individuals.
According to him, ego/esteem and self actualisation come only after fulfilment of these basic needs. But, he misunderstood about the concept of need and desire and mixed up them. It is not necessary that someone who is not fulfilled with basic needs won’t have desire. There are thousands of examples who became empire rising from street. Even though, they were not having basic needs ‘enough’, their desire stimulated them to their success.
Now, when we come to point of satisfaction, we need to balance ‘need’ and ‘desire’. That means, question of satisfaction on need or satisfaction on desire
A line in between need and desire makes separation for satisfaction and we can classify it as basic satisfaction and achieved satisfaction. Basic satisfaction is from the fulfilment of basic needs and achieved satisfaction is from the fulfilment of our desire.
When someone feels satisfy from basic needs but he/she is not having any desire, he/she can be happy.
When someone feels satisfy from basic needs and achieved desire, he/ she can also be happy.
Here, I would like to clarify on desire more which may go till infinite level. So, if someone satisfies from basic needs but is having infinite level of desires, he/she would never feel satisfy and that cause him to make unhappy for forever.
So, basic needs -> basic satisfaction -> basic happiness -> not ambitious
Desire -> achieved satisfaction ->achieved happiness -> more ambitious
