it implies that if you wish to be stronger, go do something that almost kills you

Sorry I don't know the origin, but I agree with you. My variation on that is - What doesn't kill you can leave you permanently crippled.

I think that that saying is kind of cool. You just can't take it too literally. But if you really want to look into it, then try this example: you were on fear factor the show. you had to do all of the scary tasks. None of the killed you. they only gave you the sense of accomplishment and courage, that you can do anything.

it doesnt really mean that it means more like though the hard times you get stronger because youve already had to cope with something bad and know how to handle.

quote from friedrich nietzsche. put it this way, as one soldier gets in to more and more wars, the better he gets in fighting. he learns. or like this way, a woman with breast cancer after a series of chemos is finally cleared of the illness. the sickness made her a better person.
