You are being very realistic here, I never thought of this quote like this, it's clearly a quote I use for encouragement and motivation, especially when the goal looks tough from the beginning.

The quote I find weird and funny is;
"What doesn't kill you make you stronger"

The truth is that some pain don't make us stronger, I feel this quote encourages unnecessary torture and pain.
Some painful experiences leaves deep scars that one might not recover from too.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece Sam.
