No Silver Bullet Solution

No Silver Bullet Solution

Everyday we face multifarious complexities of problems, from the petty to the life-changing problems.  In short, we're constantly in the HUNT for solutions.  And lucky for us, 95% of the time, it's NOT a long winded road to find the FIX, the solution to a problem.  BUT our remaining 5% of our problems, we do get bogged down.  BUT the bigger problem is we're bugged down because more often than NOT, we're looking for a Silver Bullet Solution💴💷💵

And this is where the NIRVANA FALLACY comes into the picture.  And this fallacy is arguing that a course of action is NO good because it is NOT perfect.  This essentially assumes the opposite of what is more commonly known as the GOLDEN MEAN FALLACY rather than assuming the extremes CANNOT exist and the middle is correct, it assumes the middle CANNOT exist and a solution is either absolutely PERFECT or entirely undesirable📗📙📘

Fact is, there are NO perfect solutions to life's problems.  Have you ever had a problem you couldn't find a perfect solution?  Maybe you had to choose between doing something that you wanted to do and something that was the right thing to do.  OR you had to choose between two options, each of which has its unique set of advantages and disadvantages.  Sadly, when we face problems like this, it's easy to get frustrated and feel like there's no way to make the right decision.  BUT the truth is, there are often NO perfect solutions, NO SILVER BULLET SOLUTIONS but just TRADEOFFS💎💎💎

A TRADEOFF is a situation where you must give up something to get something else.  A simple example, imagine you are trying to decide what to have for lunch.  You want a big, juicy burger [from SUBWAY] BUT you know pretty well that there are better choices than this one.  On the other hand, a salad would be a much healthier choice BUT it's NOT as tasty as a burger.  You're then faced with a TRADEOFF:  Do you choose burger and sacrifice your health OR do you choose salad and offer your taste buds❓❓❓

Frankly, TRADEOFFS are everywhere in our life and they can be tricky to navigate.  Sometimes the choice is easy IF you have to choose between doing something morally right and doing something ethically wrong, the right choice is as clear as the sky versus the ground.  Dude, let us constantly remember that there are NO SILVER BULLET SOLUTIONS in life❌❌❌
