What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and other wanktastic sayings

[GADDay]

Just thinking about my Mum & Dad. In their seventies, been stuck on their own for nearly 9 months. I am in Australia, so no hope of seeing them soon.

My mum's cousin is in hospital - end of life care. He is alone, in horrific pain, scared, running the covid gauntlet. His wife is equally terrifed and alone in Tier 3. They have been married for 52 years and separated now when they need each other most.

Then that bloody awful saying popped into my head and it made me feel uncharacteristically pissed off. It might not kill us but it is NOT going to make us stronger.

I loathe this saying.

"You do you" well what else would I do? I can only be myself.

My fave is "There's no I in team, but there's 2 in analfisting."

“Only god can judge me.”

Usually seen tattooed on absolute arseholes who don’t give a shiny shite about the consequences of their actions.

'Everything will be alright in the end. ' 'there's always tomorrow. ' ' every cloud has a sliver lining. ' ' you have been giving this life because you were strong enough to live it' it's gods plan. ' 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' .................stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Also insulting. When you apply these rules to real traumatic effects like .. Homelessness, drug addiction, severe illness, abuse, mental illness, suicide ... World hunger!...... It's a big fat no!!!!!! ' Money isn't everything. ' eerrr! Yes actually. For some people money equals food and a roof over your head. People who say all this stuff don't know what they are on about. Obviously never had any serious problems.
