Hello there,
As you know, the aphorism in the title belongs to Nietzsche.
I think it is one of the most powerful aphorisms that describes life in such a
simple way. Normally, when one hears this phrase for the first time, it comes
to the mind that after being under difficult conditions, one will have better
conditions, which yes actually includes this meaning. But apart from that, it
actually provides information about almost all of life.
For example, consider diseases. Smallpox has been quite deadly for many people, especially in recent ages. However, it has been discovered that if you survive the disease, it does not infect you again. So if it doesn't kill you, it removes your risk of getting caught again and makes you strong in this regard. As a result of research on this, smallpox vaccine was found and today, smallpox is almost never left all over the world.
Let's say you decide to do sports. The day you first start exercising, if you put out all your strength, your muscles may eventually suffer irreversible damage. An adverse movement done outside of sports can also cause this muscle damage. However, if you do the movement as it should be, without forcing it to the end, the muscles in the area where you are moving will be slightly fragmented but you will not see a high damage. Moreover, with this slight disintegration, with the support of your cells in that area, better quality muscle cells are produced compared to those that are broken down. And in this way, the area you work on will have healthier and stronger muscles.
There are highly toxic animals in some areas. The poison injected into you with a tiny bite can cause you to die in a very short time. In such areas, poisons taken from animals are given to humans in small doses from certain ages and people are made immune to that venom. A poison that can kill another person within 5 minutes causes only effects such as itching and pain in immunized people.
Allergy treatment is actually the same. If there is an allergy to a particular animal or plant, the protein cell of that animal is given as a serum with small doses under the doctor's control, and it can completely eliminate your allergy within 3-5 years.
If we consider it to be success, according to a research conducted in recent years, it has been revealed that people who do not get enough support at the beginning of their career are more successful in the future than those who can get support. In other words, the initial depressions, lack of resources-like effects make the person stronger in some way and the success of these people will be higher in the future.

Based on the examples I have given above, whatever you go through in your life, do not let yourself be overwhelmed by sadness. If you do that, you're kind of dead actually. However, if you accept the negative condition you live in and try again in different ways, it will be inevitable that you will be much more successful, healthy and rich in the future. Never despair. Know that every bad event that happens to you will make you stronger, and build your future accordingly. Believe me, you will see that nothing can upset you if you live this way. (Nobody can upset you anyway, a person can only upset himself, I will write this in detail at a different time.) As a person is peaceful and happy, his brain works better and makes stronger decisions. Since there will be no stress in peace, the immune system works better and therefore it becomes healthier.
Hope you always stay in peace,
See you soon.
