"That which does not kill you, makes you stronger."
When we go through trials or tragedies in life, after we have healed and licked our wounds, we become stronger than before.
Our strength lies in wisdom. We have become wise to whatever caused our suffering, and we learn not to put ourselves in that position ever again.
Also, I would argue that we become less naive. Maybe with some of us, our hearts become a little more hardened and a little harder for others to gain access to. But because of that, we are less likely to let those who wish to harm our hearts, in.
Or, maybe our hearts develop imaginary scars caused by the tragedies or sufferings through life, which protect the tender flesh beneath. Each terrible event thereafter causes us less and less suffering because it cannot penetrate through the layers.
At any rate, I believe this proverb to be truth.
When you are going through something so terrible that you think you may die, or that even death would be better....always believe that when you survive it, you will emerge a new, stronger person with wisdom that you didn't have before.
That is what this proverb means to me.
