"Only the strong survive."

[Deja Q]

Sounds like a terrorist credo, doesn't it?

1. Sounds like a Corporation to me

Or something without compassion.

2. True. The large corporations buy out the smaller ones, which

are often more creative - surely creativity deserves some credit for strength?

3. Reading your response gave me hope

When I read the OP, I immediately thought of individual strength and how difficult it is to maintain it sometimes. Like if someone is so overwhelmed that he/she is unable to cope, there would be some truth in that statement that strength would be important to keep going forward.

But I like to think of it as a cliche that corporations probably invented to attract investors or manipulate people in some way.

4. It was only a quote I heard on television...

5. Eh, okay

I'll go back to feeling hopeless and paralyzed...:(

6. Please do not.

7. social Darwinists? n/t

8. Everyone is strong in something,

but some strengths are apparently more equal than others.

9. Doesn't sound like a "terrorist credo" to me at all.

Sounds more like words of encouragement, sort of like, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". But then I'm a survivor, no matter what life throws my way so maybe I just interpret it that way out of my inherent optimism. :)
