Free-Write: what doesn't kill us makes us stronger

I think this is true to an extent. When it comes to mental trauma, or metaphors, this is most likely true. I've experienced deep emotional pain before, but it didn't kill me. It did make me a stronger person. When it comes to physical trauma- it's only partially true. If you were climbing a tree and fell and broke your arm, chances are you'll heal and won't make the same mistakes again- therefore making you stronger. But if you got in a car accident and survived yet suffered paralysis- that might've made you weaker or "uncapable". You aren't able to do as much as before, so although it didn't kill you, it didn't make you stronger. This is very applicable to me. Everything I've endured, mentally and physically, has made me stronger in some way. 

"Everyone has something good about them... you have to find the redeeming quality and love them for that". 

I do not believe this. I do believe everyone has a redeemable quality, but if everything else about them is bad or negative, then you don't have to love them for that one thing. Like you can't love Hitler just because he liked dogs... it just doesn't make sense. Love them if you believe they are a good person, don't search for a single good thing and force yourself to love them for it.
