Makes us Stronger?

"That which does not kill us, makes us stronger" Hmm...maybe I was already strong and the pain I went through just made me prove it. The more I think about that quote it bothers me. I don't want to have to almost die to invoke my strength and I don't need to be taught a lesson from any trauma I experience. Let's stop glorifying trauma, stress and pain as a life lesson that makes us better and learn to love and support those that are going through difficult times; because that is what in fact makes us better.
