I've never agred with that. It is simply not true and even when it could be it depends on the person and situation.
fair enough-each to his own.
A bullet that rips through ones lower spinal column and which does not kill you -- I am sure will not be making you stronger in the forseeable future.. Bronchitis does not make you stronger even though it may not kill you.
Another phrase some of my family members often repeat - is "It always comes to them that waits".. This I think originates from a religious angle. A bit like the Christian "turn the other cheek" and take it up the ..... now because it will all be ok in Heaven.. ie, once your'e dead and of no concern anymore. I don't think those innocent civilians that perish around the world at the hands of others would agree with the "always comes to them that waits" philosophy..
Rant over.. Lecturn pushed to corner of room again...
