What does not kill you...

"What does not kill him, makes him stronger" - Friedrich Nietzsche. (originally in German. But we all know who speaks German, right? NAZIS!)

People often incorrectly (you'd know that if you were me) paraphrase that as applying to them personally. What kind of saying is that? What does not kill you makes you stronger. You just read that sentence. Dead yet? No? Good! You're stronger.

Let's say you get hit by a car. People come rushing to the scene and ask if you're dead. You reply no (or yes, if you're witty). They walk away, saying "oh well, you're stronger now. Both your legs aren't working anymore, but suck it up, gimpy. It's good for you."

Now, a discussion of the misuse of that quote only inevitably leads to Kanye.

"Now that that don't kill me, Can only make me stronger." - Kanye West.

Now, his (mis)use of the above quote only increases my distaste for Kanye. This, and also his use of Auto-tune on "Love Lockdown". You're not T-PAIN! And neither is Lil' Wayne. Just tossing that in there. Lil' Wayne is awful.

So I'm misusing the Niexzctschxcze quote (Sorry, normal human beings are unable to spell his last name correctly without checking. I have neither the time nor the inclination to do so.) in my own way.

"What does not kill you is obviously not a ninja. If it were a ninja, you'd be dead. Yeah. Ninjas." - Justin.
