A need is something without which you will die: food, water, shelter.
A desire is something you would like to have. It can be a luxury, or it can be a specific response to a need.
I need food. I desire pizza.
I need shelter. I desire a flat on the upper east side.
Unfortunately, many people consider their desires needs.

Needing something means that you have to have it to suffice . Desiring means you really can live with out it , but if you had it it would be a luxury . Like , I really need to get my teeth fixed ,, instead of ,, I really want to have my teeth whitened ... See the difference , one is a necessity the other a luxury

Need is a survival issue. Desire is a strong want, a step or two down in urgency.

need is what you should have to live naturally
on the other hand desire ( or want) is for things without which you can live naturally.
