And what I'm saying is that "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is a personal revelation of inner strength. It is a personal acceptance of yourself and an acknowledgement of what YOU have been through in your life, but the ability to move past what was done to you and live in spite of it. It is an internal revelation, acknowledgement, and decision.
What others think plays no part in it unless you allow them to....

Your comments are completely incoherent, except in your own mind.
I didn't create "damaged pathways to make peace with my experiences." I simply chose to not stay a victim by allowing circumstances beyond my control to steal the rest of my life. I learned how to come to PEACE with what happened.
We don't live in a higher consciousness of Zen. People have feelings, egos, and a normalized psychology which means they must either learn how to process these things in a healthy manner or be consumed by them. For some people, that means focusing on the lessons learned, higher purpose, silver linings, or even just recognizing what you DON'T want to be. Either way, people who live through a trauma should take time to recognize their survival (without judgement) as it can be helpful to healing.
ETA - or are you insinuating that I am not being truthful or true to my own traumatic history?

Your mind tries to justify whatever you went through, but what ParasuvO says there DOES MAKE SENSE.
