What Kills You Can Only Make You Weaker
One of the sayings that annoys me most is, "What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger."
This is untrue in pretty much every case. The phrase is never used after something good has happened. For instance, on someone's 18th birthday celebrations no-one pops out of a massive novelty cake and exclaims, "What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger."
No, the saying is only used when something bad has happened. I shall for instance you again. The piece of wisdom is usually used after something like someone getting knocked down by a bus, just about surviving, but forcing them to live without feelings in their legs for the rest of their life... and in pops someone to say... "Oh well. What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger."
Yes, thanks for that Doc, you do talk some bollocks.
