Without need there would be no reason to strive for anything. Existence would be meaningful. Can you image you not needing to work so that you can be fed, clothed, sheltered, etc. Can you imagine the world with all deliberate bums!! Think on these things!
I could also go to the Bible on this, but I wont, it would be opening a can of worms for there are so many different religious sects in the world.
Why would you not want to need? Do you wish that everyone had everything thing that they needed at no cost. Can you imagine the chaos? There are people in this world who feel the need to kill, to rape, to destroy. If there weren't people who needed to try to curb this, what would the world be like?
Do you not like to feel the need to be loved, comforted, appreciated? What about the need to give birth, the need to nurture a new born precious baby? I could go on but I won't. I'm sure there are so many others who have their views on this.
cheers!

Why dont want to need?? There is nothin wrng in needing something.. Humans NEED food, clothing, shelter, love, affection, attention and care.. Expecting warm relationships is a default setting in us.. What dont you wanna need??

Slikk is right, although I think he meant to say meaningless in his second sentence.
Let us focus on "is there a way that you will not need?" and "I don't want to need"
As long as you are breathing you have needs. Air is already provided so although I know that I need it I don't worry about trying to get it. If I made a list of my needs and sent someone to get them I more than likely wouldn't put air down. Why? Because it is already provided for me.
If everything that I need was provided for me I would still need, but I would not view it as important as something else like my wants (think of little kids, they need food, but they ask for toys). If we could stay little kids or be someones pet all of our needs would be taken care of and wants would dominate our minds.
Everything needs something. Why do you not want to need? Is it perhaps because you don't want to be dependent on someone else? Either you don't want to or you don't want someone else to satisfy your needs. Humility triumphs over pride where survival rules.

If you don't want to need, you don't really want to survive. Needing is all about surviving. Your body needs water, needs food to survive. Many girls think they need make-up to become more attractive. Many people need to fit in because they are afraid of being outcast and lonely.
So, although you can strip your neediness down to a matter of basic needs, you are still going to have those needs and therefore, you are still going to have to need. Sorry!

Good, people seem to be needlessly worried about their needs !
Desire seems to be the root for this need... Obviously you are not referring to the basic, routine, reasonable needs that we try to meet... And most quarrels are not about those basic needs !
"No expectation" seems to be the key to attain this 'choicelessness' state...!

Oxygen, food and water. Sorry, we all need these things. Unless we decide we no longer need to survive.

We all have needs. What we NEED to get rid of are wants.

hence you will perish
whence the leaves
and be one with its nature...
