Quote I dislike

I absolutely obiminate the quote “Everything Happens for a Reason”.  That is a most disturbing quote and “NO” absolutely not - does everything happens for a reason!

Their are things that happen to people that this quote should never be used in correlation with. Every time I hear this quote I cringe with disgust. 

Instead I have used the quote “ What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” because life can knock you down and sometimes you wonder if you will ever be able to get back up- and when that time comes- and you are back on your feet. 

You realize that you are stronger than you thought - or you know that you have to be strong for your loved ones. Because you and HOW you react to life experiences causes a trickle effect upon the rest of the family- especially those closest to you.  If you really love your family- you hold it together, because things DO get better with time. The scars will always be there but they will fade.
