Is it true that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger?

Question: Is it true that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

It can either make you stronger and more determined so that doesn't happen again, or terrify the crap out of you so you don't go outside again :PWww@QuestionHome@Com

If you are dead, you aren't going to get any stronger!. If you survive a traumatic encounter you have the opportunity to learn from it, about what to do or not do, or about yourself or other people, and gain knowledge!. And as they say, knowledge is power, and power makes you stronger (or better able to deal)!.
Of course, we never learn from every opportunity, and you might say these missed or ignored opportunities represent a ''death'' of sorts!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not all the time!. It depends on the initial character of the person who has been injured!. If you have a weak mind and you have an emotional or physical injury, you might think your life is ruined as a result of the injury!. However, If you have inner strength prior to the emotional or physical damage, your will to live and improve your life might grow stronger!.
I think it depends on the person!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you're reffering to a relationship that didn't work or someone who has failed you, then it might be true!. Something like that also makes you more aware of the danger of getting hurt, more carefull and less trusting with people!. Which is only normal!. Maybe that helps in never making the same mistakes again and giving things more time before making up your mind on taking things forward!. And yes I can say I'm talking from my own experience and in the end I'm a bit afraid that I'll want to stop trying!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ha, that depends!. Some could even argue that you're stronger when you're dead!. Martyrs for example, or people who do not get recognized for their life's work until they've long since gone!.

It doesn't really matter if it's considered to be true, it just matters whether or not you find it to be!. Whatever works!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Up to a point!. Physically, if somebody breaks your spine with a base ball bat your going to be weaker for the rest of your life!. Psychologically, if anyone is put through enough mental stress they will go insane; if someone locked you in a dark room and only feed you rotten food and dirty water for five years with no human contact, you wouldn't be any stronger!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

To a point!. I mean how strong can you be if you are just a head and torso !? However mental strength, determination and problem solving are just SOME of the things enhanced by the trials you face in your life!. So yes!. You will be stronger!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You know, I'm not sure!. I don't really like thinking about death, killing, or anything of the sort!. Kanye West has a different opinion though, "Th-th-that that don't kill me!.!.!. can only make me strongah!" Haha!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Emotionally, sometimes!. But, it can also make you meaner!.
