Prompt #33 - What doesn't kill me...

Prompt #34 - Bullet

Prompt #35 - 24 hours

This is a joke, right? Someone is taking the mickey out of me, right?

Because not dying doesn't make you stronger, I have not died at least a dozen times before 1966, and a couple thousand more after.

What does make you stronger is DYING ITSELF of course.

Look at me. Died in 1966 and here I am. The reaper-improved Mason. Chop my arm off and it will pop back on... not that I am asking for that because it does smart something fierce. But there is no denying that I am stronger than I was when I was alive. Why it even takes stronger doses of medications to get a buzz.

The way I see it, people walk around with their heads up their respective arses and the average person nearly dies a hundred times before they ever meet me and they are just as ignorant on the 90th close call as they were on the first.

Those who nearly die remain ignorant, while reapers... reapers are the strong ones.

033. That Which Doesn't Kill Me

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger".
Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?

Now what doesn't kill me only feeds my ire and moves me to destroy those who are provoking me.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?


I'd be inclined to agree. People I've met show me this and who am I to disagree? No one.

Myself for one. I was in a wheelchair but I never let that stop my hopes of walking again. In the end? I'm walking all over the place. It didn't kill me and made me stronger in my determination to do it.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?

To me it depends on the person and what was done. I know most assume that say someone was in an accident and they lost their legs the person was made weaker. That can be both true and false. Truth comes from if the person gives up and resigns themselves to just being a cripple. That they in essence give up like nothing can ever be right in their life again. Then there are the people who even if they lost their legs they don't let it get them down. They just fight harder to live a life. They refuse to let that stop them from living a life.

I'd also like to think that what my team sees in our line of work makes them stronger. That even if the scene is disturbing it pushes them harder to get the job done. That it forces them to see a bigger picture that assists in finding the clues needed to try and put the person away. I know the job is hard especially when even after all our work the person gets away with it. I'm proud of my team that even that doesn't get to them.

I can both agree and disagree but it does depend on the mind set of the individual and how they allow things to effect them. Everyone is different.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?

"...Fingon cut off his hand above the wrist, and Thorondor bore them back to Mithrim. There Maedhros in time was healed; for the fire of life was hot within him, and his strength was of the ancient world, such as those posessed who were nurtured in Valinor. His body recovered from his torment and became hale, but the shadow of his pain was in his heart; and he lived to wield his sword with his left hand more deadly than his right had been." - The Silmarillion - JRR Tolkien

So many of these questions make me think of Thangorodrim. And well they might, for it was the event that forged me to be what I was ever after, and still am.

I do not know how long I was captive in Angband. Some say I hung on that mountain for fifty years, which is frankly ridiculous, not even the strongest elf could have lasted so long in such conditions. I lost count of the time I was held captive in the dungeons below the mountain, but I would be surprised if it were longer than three or four years. As for hanging on the cliffs of Thangorodrim, that was only when Morgoth grew bored with me, and was but a few days. I was almost dead already, even at the start of that final torment, and would likely have lived not many more days had Findekano not found me.

Did it make me stronger? People said that it did, but I'm not convinced. It certainly made me harder - a tough shell, a thick scar that covers and protects the tender flesh beneath. My body healed though the scars remained, and my right shoulder never quite fully recovered, always to give me pain again in cold weather. But inside, I never did heal. Always there were nightmares of the torture, and that shadow on my fea that changed me for ever.

I do not think that the experience made me stronger because it did not kill me. I think it only failed to kill me because I was already as strong as I could be. Had I been any weaker, I would not have survived.

I am made of copper, forged in the fires of Angband.

"You want to know if what doesn't kill you makes you stronger?"  Ronon eyed Heightmeyer, his demeanour clearly indicating to her that he loathed these sessions. "Well, yes. Provided you have enough sense to learn from your experience." 

At the psychologist raised eyebrow, Ronon clarified, "You've lived through it. You push on. You'll be stronger on the other side. Makes sense. Might as well put it to good use. And the hate, pain, despair, the need for vengeance... harness those feelings and live on to kick more ass."
