Why do they bury dead people... or at least cremate them? Because they become stronger, too. Stronger smelling, that is.

Well smoking doesn't kill you ? later ?

I think it's another one of them sayings that are bullshit in the English language.
I can't think of many now but there is tons of them that make no sense at all.

Ever seen a red head get called a carrot-top ?
Well, the tops of carrots are green idiots LOL

Life is full of fucked up shit big time and are you all mentally strong enough to deal with it ?

I seen a TV show where a guy was sucked under a passing train and literally cut & half
and he was wedged under the train as it slowly stopped for a mile etc and eventually
paramedics found him and i guess how he got wedged cut off the flow of blood..
which is why he did not bleed to death right away.. so..
He was awake and conscious through the whole entire ordeal cut in half at his stomach.
He was the one who phoned 911 and told them where he was & what happened.
That fucker is my hero ..he is bad ass !
He fucking lived too !

Did that make him stronger though ? Maybe it did mentally.
Maybe that is the point of the saying (don't know never looked it up)

Smoking... it does kill you. Maybe not instantly, but with each cigarette, you are dying. You are killing yourself and your children  Wink

Probably yes because in life there is always challenges you encounter so keep strong and dont give up because at the end of the day you will get a lesson from this situation and take this as an advantage to anyone who is not encounter it already. Experience is your best teacher live it in your mind.

If we take this to a fantasy type of view we look at the super heroes that are shown in the movies. Take Superman for example, yea Kryptonite doesn't kill him but it makes him very weak because he becomes just like an ordinary human being. So that statement may be a metaphor or something; maybe its means something else apart from the literal context.

Yeah you all heard the saying but is it true ?

Me i am not so sure..
Maybe you get worn down and die ?

I DO know that you need a strong mental resolve to make it longer in life.
And i think that is what the saying is driving at sort of..

Have you been forced into positions that were mind bendingly difficult ?
Like what ?

- Been thrown on the street with not even a pair of shoes ? (no one to turn to for help)

I had that happen back in 1998 roughly and i was in town i was new in and had known few people.
Got into an argument with my old buddies GF who was mostly in charge of the house sort of.
So in a blink of an eye i was on the street with nothing.. not a dollar or a change of clothes
or any place to go.. or anyone to ask for help.
I phoned my recent ex-GF in that town and asked her if she could help a bit.. and nope.. denied.
And i was in a different province i had never lived in before and had no family etc for a long distance.

I got fucked over.
But i fought back and never took any god damn shit !
I got back on my feet and later within a year or two had my own business and my own house living alone.

I was shocked at being blind sided and it was depressing having to wake up in a nightmare then went on & on.
But i was not going to give up.. i knew some how some way i would get back on my feet.

THAT is what the stronger shit is about.
It didn't kill me but it did take a toll mentally.. and changed who i was.
You go through things in life that can be so intense it instantly changes how your brain functions forever.

You all ready for it ?
You have ANY clue at all how brutal life can be ?
I doubt it if you are young living at Mom's house still.
Live is a cut throat bitch !

What would you do if you found out by accident a loved one planned and hired a hitman to kill you ?
A tad worse than finding out they were cheating right ?
What if you found the hitman's weapons and foiled the plot while it was happening ?

What would you do if the doctor said hey you got cancer and will be dead in 2 / 3 months guaranteed ?
Not all medical problems can be put off for long periods with magical cures peddled online LOL

What do you do when you accidentally overdosed super bad on drugs and literally died ?
Ever experienced true silence ?
It is the most amazing thing you can experience..
When i had my limbs fall away then when my vision shut off i experienced that !
My hearing failed as well as every single part of my body after an intense OD on over-the-counter-drugs
I recall..
Literally seeing my life flash before my eyes as i was blanked out by myself on a toilet..
It was like a slide show with rapid images sliding in & out of view over & over.
THEN i remembered hey.. you just died bro !
I was at peace and calm while out in blackness / lala land
Then i noticed how i literally could hear NOTHING for the first time in my life.
THAT was fucking weird !

Then i realized well i better decide to live or not and do something i guess..
I thought well.. i am not ready to die.
Then i figured i'd fight.. and hard.

I came to clutching the sky with one arm sitting on the toilet still as my vision came back.
It vanished like a closing black circle and then had opened up like an expanding black circle.
Then my arms came back etc and i ended up hobbling out of there.
And it was mind shatteringly exhausting.
Every part of my body hurt and i felt more drained than every day in my life combined.
And 2 days later i could still barley get up & walk 3 feet to get some water.
I got my ass beat so fucking bad it was not funny !

I am convinced i died.
That happened back in 2000 roughly i think.. and it changed me mentally.
Stronger ? tough to say i guess..

Not sure i believe in a higher power but maybe my dead Grandpa lifted me up from death ?

I have seen that life just throws a tougher & tougher situation at you.
Just when you think you seen it all ..BAM you get pounded even harder than ever before !

You all ready for it ? Strong enough ? Have the will to live ?
And if you do ? Will it make you stronger ?
