Are you agree with that phrase?🤔

(I think we can only assume mental situations. Physical injuries cannot be reversed unfortunately)

I’d say, “What doesn’t kill you CAN make you stronger, when you play your cards right.”


Like, when life gets hard, let’s say someone’s spouse dies. That could wreck them mentally and emotionally and they could spiral downward into a depression they never break out of.


Or, they find a way to get through that pain. They find strength within themselves. They find a way to smile again and honor their spouse’s memory by living a good life, because their spouse would not want them to fall into a crippling depression.


And because of that pain, and getting through it. They will be able to empathize with other people who are also going through loss. They will know how to comfort, because they’ve been there.


By knowing how to be strong when it feels like the whole world is falling apart, it’ll make them much stronger, with a strong capacity for love and compassion.


Or, it could make them bitter and malicious and degenerate them into someone no longer recognizable.


So it really depends.


Humans are capable of being better than angels or worse than demons.

I just read another person’s comment and that made me want to add: “What doesn’t kill you can make you MENTALLY stronger, when you play your cards right.”

Getting a terminal illness or getting a crippling injury will never make you physically stronger.

Yes sir, you have a point

[Berethor]

If you got Zenkai Boost and Regeneration like Cell then sure. Usually Traumas are not good.

Like how getting thrown off a horse and breaking his neck made Christopher Reeve stronger?

[Asker]

Yeah i guess it means "no"))

[kuffs]

Usually yes. You break your leg, the bone heals stronger. You lift weights and it tears the muscles and makes you stronger.

Nein, Genossin! A car crash didn’t kill me. Instead, it made me not able to do several sports and others thinking I’m stupider after the coma of the accident.

[Asker]

I'm so sorry

[HippieVeganJewslim]

It’s OK, not Your fault.
Also, a pig my mum was dating heard a man torturing a kid. The pig knocked down the door and threw the man out the window. The man survived, as a mattress was placed in the street. The man, instead of being murdered, had to live his life in the hospital. The throwing didn’t kill the man, but did it make him stronger? I think not!

[Asker]

Yeah probably in this phrase we can only think about mental situations. If you can successfully defeat it, then it makes you stronger i guess. But not physical situations

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I won some chess games, but still can’t understand it.

Friedrich Nietzsche really knew what he was talking about. It is right on.

[Ptrmbrs88]

Nietzsche was a psychopath.

[exitseven]

@Ptrmbrs88 Yeah maybe bit he had a great understanding of the human condition.

[Ptrmbrs88]

That's a lie. If you manage to survive a serious case of cancer, for example, are you left in greater physical shape than you were before?

[WanderingLoveWizard]

What doesn't kill you makes you wish it did

[asphaltrhymes]

To a degree, probably. 🙃

[OddBeMe]

Mentally sure. Physically, noooo

[talka20]

To some extent only

[Ben487]

no i don't

[Mettbltt]

yesss
