Don't Get Fixated With The SYMPTOMS!

 

I am and NOT and NEVER could claim to be a medical expert WHEN it comes to discussing SYMPTOMS BUT given the prevalence of one too many travails of human challenges that seem to be SYMPTOMATIC of an illness OR a problem, it is quite sad to observe that a plurality of us [if NOT a majority] are more FIXATED in FIXING the SYMPTOMS instead of attacking the very root cause and FIXING it instead📗📙📘

Through the years @workplace, we CAN'T get misguided OR lost as long as everyone in our operations delivery teams would consistently follow the Quality components with focus on CPAR [Corrective and Preventive Action Requests].  Sadly, quality management and its allied best practices CAN'T be rolled out in our personal daily lives [as easy as it is rolled out @workplace].  WHY?  Maybe it's because of our biases.  OR maybe it's because of the habits we have formed and embedded over time, LIKE, with the ease and convenience of the neighborhood pharmacy, it is quick and easy to buy OTC [over the counter] medications to quick fix a symptom bothering us now!!!

Frankly, if I wear the hat of a medical frontliner, my spiel will be this.  If you are going through any form and shape of a SYMPTOM, let us all agree that those SYMPTOMS are an outlet of a much deeper issue that could be likely fueling them and are NOT the very problem you suspected at the outset.  By recognizing that the SYMPTOMS are NOT the problem itself, it will lead us towards that path of awareness towards the root cause❎❎❎

Verily true, BAND-AID remedies are good and effective for a certain amount of time BUT sadly, those are NOT the fixes and solutions to a problem.  We DON'T need to rattle off statistics of divorce across continents and cultures BUT the divorce rates across Europe, Americas and Asia alone are NOT minuscule statistics that can be just ignored.  BUT DON'T we think that, to be fair to couples, many exerted efforts BUT sadly, many attempted the BAND-AID remedies???

Our takeaway:  Regardless of the nature of a problem, be it health-related, financial, commercial OR even legal, the shared commonality across all these settings is that WHEN a problem arises, let us NOT spend so much time getting hog-tied by the BAND-AID remedies.  While the pharmacy's OTC remedies can seem to fix things, those are BAND-AID solutions NO less.  And if we're talking about brewing disconnects within relationships, taking NO steps to find for the root cause will very likely lead to the problem exacerbating and skidding down south UNTIL things will go way out of hand, unresolvable.  WHAT happens next, your guess is as good as mine, at that point in time, the probability of finding the final fix to the very root cause of the problem may be nothing more than just a figment of one's imagination!@#$%?
