they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger .. which when you think about it kind of implies that if something doesn't kill you then it is somehow good for you .. which is crap in my opinion .. take getting punched in the face for example .. it doesn't kill you .. but it doesn't make you stronger either .. a hangover doesn't kill you .. but it doesn't make you stronger .. i think they should change it to what doesn't kill you isn't always good for you.
they also say treat people the way you want them to treat you .. objection .. i think a better approach would be to treat people the way they treat you .. that's my philosophy .. if someone is nice to me i'll be ten times nicer to them .. and if someone is mean to me i'll be a hundred times meaner to them .. and if someone leaves me alone i leave them alone .. i mean why should i be nice to someone who is mean to me .. makes no sense!

But getting punched in the face is not nearly close to killing you, so you can't use that example (the hangover example is not valid for the same reason:p). you gotta think of something that almost killed you..like..getting beaten within an inch of your life??:P ooooooor getting heartbroken within an inch of your life :p ok i'm owfully tired i can't think of anything better.
Umm..when you treat ppl hundred time nicer or ten times meaner you're so NOT treating them the same way!! like HELLOO :p
Your deep thoughts are very..deep..not to mention funny :S
well i'm treating them in the same manner just not in the same magnitude lol.
and how is getting beaten within an inch of your life supposed to make you stronger .. maybe you lost an eye in the beating .. or got paralyzed .. or something like that .. how does that make you stronger exactly biddi afham :p
the heartbreaks i can understand how they are supposed to make you stronger in the sense that no matter how hurt you are you should never give up on love bla bla bla.
what if a guy got so beaten up he is now on a respirator and he's in a coma and a vegetative state .. how did the beating make him stronger o_0
lol okkkk i see your point. Near death experiences change people i suppose, not necessarily making them stronger, but they certainly make people appreciate life more "the saw movies are one stupid sick and funny example ;)". Now the proverb..i think it means what doesn't kill you "psychologically" makes you stronger :p that is to say the more shocks you get in life the more seasoned and experienced you become..does that work for you?? i can always come up with something else :p
still no good sorry :p
as a matter of fact i'll take physical over psychological any day .. id rather be physically scarred than psychologically scarred.
look i know what he is trying to say .. it's supposed to be inspirational and that you should feed off adversity and try to learn from it rather than allow it to set you back bla bla .. that's all fine .. my problem is with the wording that he used .. saying what doesn't kill you makes you stronger is just inaccurate in my opinion .. it was neitzsche who said it btw.
