When a Silver Bullet Stops the Bleeding

When a Silver Bullet Stops the Bleeding

Apologies, today's piece is NOT about armaments and arsenals.  Instead, we'd like to explore how a silver bullet can be of help for us, as we go through the travails in our life.  Because while the standing notion is that bullets are fatal, which is a given, a little known fact is that there are times when that silver bullet becomes the answer to stop a bleeding that's happening profusely.

As in any emergency, there are very basic ground rules, to wit:  DETERMINE if you can do anything to help.  Even before looking for help elsewhere, it is imperative that you ask yourself if indeed you can help yourself.  Theafter, TAKE TIME TO THINK before acting.  More often, during emergency, our judgment calls even become spotty at best.  Why? It is because during those pressured moments when our cognitive thinking is less than efficient, we tend to be inconclusive and indecisive.

If at all, emergencies lead to bedlam and confusion.  And this is where the 'silver bullet' solution comes into play.  Going by the dictionary, a 'silver bullet' is a 'simple and magical solution to a complicated problem'.  That's it.  In history, it's akin to 'crossing the Rubicon'.  In real life, there are one too many scenarios we can paint.

Yes, this is how exactly who and how we are during those moments when there's that BLEEDING that needs to be stopped.  Both our mind and emotions get commingled so much that things become so blurred, handicapping and crippling us to come up with the logical and informed decision.  This is where we need to find where we can find that 'SILVER BULLET'.

What's more often glossed over is that HOW THE MIND RESPONDS DURING EMERGENCIES because this has been the 'wild card' which throws all the variables of the equation 'out of the window'.  And studies have confirmed that during emergencies when there is 'BLEEDING', each one of us need to stop that and the proven way to stop that 'BLEEDING' is finding that 'SILVER BULLET' that will stop it no less ✅✅✅
