Silly inspirational quote sites suck

I read somewhere on one of those inspirational blogs that people use to try to make a statement about themselves or their struggle. They are easy snippets to “Like” on Facebook.  Not that the struggles are not real, just that the blogs suck for reducing the capacity to have conversations. imo.

Pain makes you stronger
Fear makes you braver
Heartbreak makes you wiser


Awe cute.
It should read:

Accepting that Pain is temporary makes you stronger
Facing Fear makes you braver
Understanding Heartbreak makes you wiser

My hope/concern is:

Overcoming Pain makes you stronger
Overcoming Fear makes you braver
Overcoming Heartbreak makes you guarded

For the target audience of the example at the top, it probably reads true as follows because it is being read after looking for hope:

Succumbing to Pain makes you weaker
Succumbing to Fear makes you more afraid
Succumbing to Heartbreak leaves you full of regret and sorrow

I think I am a mixture of everything.
