Overcoming a problem, limitation or creating a shortcut is the definition of workaround. However, we do this naturally & subconsciously too, for the good & the not so good. In the good, you get praise. In the not so good, it becomes controversial & borders questionable dynamics. Either way, we journey with this
POSITIVE
When something is invented, tested, experimented & then used, we see what it can or cannot do & subsequently make the necessary changes to perfect or upgrade. It is natural for mankind to do this with all things including ourselves too
NEGATIVE
Taking an established system that exists for a reason & then trying to find ways around it (subvert), making the integrity of the item come into question is what mankind does very well too. This results in tamper-proof or secondary measures to protect the primary existing agreed to ways with a plan B?
TAKE SPEEDING
Speed limits were/are designed for areas & signs are posted accordingly along with speed bumps, traffic lights & stop signs. When approaching schools, downtown areas & shopping districts, speed is reduced purposely for many reasons. The negative work-around involves rule-breaking as follows:
1. We run stop signs or roll through them but stopping is disrespected
2. We take short-cuts that allow us to speed & ignore regulated traffic systems
3. Radar detectors warn speedsters of radar making them slow
TAKE the LAW
Mankind cannot be governed effectively by laws only regulated or guided. It is impossible to have a law for every conduct & even more impossible to enforce it. So, we work around existing laws as we choose. Some are minor, some serious:
1. In courts, you can argue laws & the part you played or not as a right-given
2. Judges are deliberately given latitude to interpret laws subjectively/broadly
3. District attorneys also have a free hand in prosecuting or not, & how far to go
In the above, workarounds are built-in & acceptable as defenses, arguments & negotiations in seeking remedy or just plain "beating the rap"! Charging someone with a violation allows an automatic workaround system to kick-in. You go to enforce laws, just or not, & mankind finds a way around that law because they can
WORTHY NOTE: We all have rights to speak, defend, come & go & demonstrate etc. Don't confuse those rights with the workaround principle.
GOOD WORKAROUNDS
There are so many rules, regulations on top of other do's & don'ts that actually discourage people from engaging, acting or investing. Cutting through "red tape" allows progress & growth to go forth. Yes, to this workaround. Consider also that even the people who are in charge don't even know or can explain the existing rules but have to obey them much to their frustration too. Got workaround?
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
In personal & intimate realms, we are forced to work-out instead of workaround if we expect to deepen & strengthen the mutual bond. Honesty, transparency, tolerance, forgiveness & second chance are mandatory to success. Remove all that:
DIVORCE, AFFAIRS, HEARTACHE & PAIN
You create powerful & allowable workarounds based on dishonesty, deceit, cover up & buying time. The short term, dark workaround may or may not work or prevail, but it won't last or have any long-term values. The result is counter-life
WORTHY NOTE: All who practice the dark & deceptive ways, without exception, fall & fail. Doesn't a thief get caught? An adulterer? A liar? & all the rest. Without exception, all mal-practice people believe with confidence: I WON'T GET CAUGHT!
CRAZY-MAKING MAKES THE ROUNDS
1. Without criminals, we would need little or no law enforcement which depend on criminal activity for their job. The lawbreaker caused law enforcement
2. If we cure, reduce & prevent disease & sickness, pharmaceutical, hospital & doctors along with parts of the medical field reduce or go out of business.
3. The need for CPA's is a result of deliberately complicated IRS rules & taxes. Simplify here & accountants become consultants or are out of a job
4. Government bloat exists to supposedly counter citizens & regulate them. If everyone was to take responsibility, the government is reduced to near nothing
ANALYSIS PARALYSIS
When mankind reaches the point where everything that they do has to be planned & checked before taking action or response, we cripple ourselves making us dependent on others for help. Binding instead of loosening doesn't work well
Finding a better way to win & not just any old way defines integrity & builds character making for a better person
