(which is greek and means "will").
Look at what you wrote:
people do need food (if we want them to survive)
A person does really only have wants. Or rather a person only has hir will.
Conditions on the other hand, like human survival, have certain neccesary preconditions. Human survival has, amongst other things, food. Therefore if you want to survive, it follows that you want food.
However if somebody doesn't want to survive, they don't necessarily want food. So it might not be in their will to have food.
Their body might see this a little different and they'll have bodily pain and craving after enacting their will not to eat food for a while.
Now, they might decide that they don't want these cravings and the pain, and since the only way to make them go away is food, it will be their will to have food.
A different example might be this: You want to have clean clothes. That necessitates washing them. Therefore it is your will to wash your clothes. Or maybe you want to get good grades. To get good grades, you'll need a certain amount of studying. So, since you want good grades, it must be your will to study.
To quote Crowley from "The Book of Law":
The word of the Law is [ThELEMA].
Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close into the
word.
[...]
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
[...]
So with thy all;
thou hast no right but to do thy will.
Do that, and no other shall say nay.
The difficulty, I think, lies in finding your true will.
