stronger

"What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger"
-Nietzsche

I’ve heard this quote many times. It’s probably one of Nietzsche’s most memorable 
quotes – it aptly reflects the human condition, and it motivates, very much so. It
 motivates the hell out of me, at least. And I suspect – that Nietzsche quite ironically, was 
foreseeing his own future, becoming stronger and stronger, until he met his doom and 
faced death head on. He died an insane man, but a strong one.

Is it not true, that we all have suffered tremendously, at one time or another? We all suffer. Actually, we should suffer. It is our suffering (be it extreme or minimal) that
highlights and marks our necessities, which in turn motivates innovation and creativity,
which then breeds solutions.

So, worldly weakness and strength aside, the whole point here is to ascertain the fact that developing an inner strength is exactly what’s responsible for producing an outer source of strength, and that same outer source of strength is what keeps us from “getting killed”.

..thus, “become 
stronger” as Nietzsche points out in his quote.
