“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is the stupidest quote anyone has ever come up with. Not only is it a total lie, but it doesn’t make any sense at all. Right now I can think up an easy half-a-dozen things that wouldn’t kill you and would make you much weaker than you were before. For example, here are some things that fit into that catagory:
- Paraplegic
- Quadriplegic (even worse than above)
- Blind
- Deaf
- Loss of limb(s)
- Permanent numbness in any area of the body.
- Muscle Loss
That’s seven perfectly legit examples right there, and I was just getting on a roll. I seriously think that whoever came up with such a homo erectus way of thinking should have his right of free speech taken away. Really, the only thing that a non-mortal injury causes is pain and suffereing, which is a lose-lose in my books.
Starting now, anyone that says the aforementioned phrase should be hit with this piece of knowledge:
“What doesn’t kill you really hurts.”

My answer to “What doesn’t kill you really hurts”?
“No Pain, No Gain”.
The beauty in the usage of slogans is not the ability to make sense but the abililty to “misdirect”.
Which is probably why they are much more effective in the locker room than the lecture hall.
