Nietzsche on Hope

That which does not kill me makes me stronger

There is an alternative way of looking at this phrase, and it is this: There is something positive in every negative. I genuinely carry this philosophy into every day of my life and realise that there really is something to be gained out of everything bad that happens to me.

Thats nice and peaceful...but at the point I am at, I need the note of defiance and even negativity.

I am too mad at myself for allowing the purely positive approach. Maybe sometime soon...........

I am not a Buddhist but my brother (who keeps telling me this advice) is a member of a Buddhist-like religious movement. I'm assuming that you are a Buddhist, or have at least engaged the principles of it?
