Recovery phrases I despise

“That which doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.”

How do you know in advance whether it falls into one camp or another?

“Life is suffering.”

If you’re a good Buddhist, life CAN’T be suffering, because you’re supposed to be in a state of satori. Rather, if the Buddha himself had actually obtained Buddhahood, he would have said, “Life appears to be suffering.”
