That which doesn’t destroy you will make you stronger?

Frankly, I’ve always thought this was one of the stupidest — and most egotistical — recovery slogans I’ve ever heard. Certainly the worse that’s not AA-conference-approved.

Why stupid? Well, how can I know the difference between what “develops” me and what destroys me until after I’m destroyed?

Why egotistical? It sounds like some Type A male machismo, along the line of one George W. Bush’s “bring them on.”
