The statement is flawed because it contains an absolute which is not true.

Yes. As we mature, so does our thinking about what we think we want. Most often, if I've gotten what I thought I wanted, it turned out that I had wanted the wrong thing. (Ex. I wanted to be able to hear what God was saying to me. I got a migraine. I could hear grass grow. What I should have wanted, was better listening skills.)

Definitely. As I have wandered/blundered my way through life my goals, both short and long term, have often changed.
Some relatively simple wants have always been maintained but others have changed as my personal situation has changed as my life experience has grown.

YES,however the desire always results in spiritual growth.

Of course because what you or I think we want is really not exactly what we want because what we want is to be content with what we have.
