Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Satisfaction of Wants.

According to a well known psychol-
ogist, our behavior is composed of two
partS-wantS or cravingS-and their
satisfaction. You might say that every
act is made up of a what" and a
how"
He explains these whats and
"hows" by the two relatively distinct
nervous systems. First is the so-called
autonomic nervous system, which
creates the whats" or wants. Then
there is the central nervous system.
which, in creating the "how's" does the
best it can to satisfy these whats or
wants.
Suppose you are hungry. This means
that the countless thousands of cells
of which the body is composed are Ill
at ease. Their very lives are in danger
because of a lack of foodstuff sufficient
to maintain their usual activity. Each
tiny cell is sending out its feeble o S
in thoroughly autonomic fashion.
You might say that these cries are
merely slight tensions in the cells. But
when they all get going together they
create a feeling which you, the pos
SCISSOR, call hunger
This hungry feeling or want calls for
satisfaction. Then it is that your CEN
trail nervous system gets busy. You
feel little more awake" to food pos
sibilitieS, and as the tension (hunger)
increases, your attention is definitely
called to the situation, and you go to
work
When this want is satisfied, you take
things easy until the chorus of cells
again sends out its warning cries.
