Fortitude as a Masculine Skill

The saying goes, "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger." What exactly does this mean? It seems that what doesn't kill us leaves us alive, and that's a miracle in itself. In the end, it's a statement about character growth, and how easy it is to take a worry and expand it. To turn a bad situation good. To see yourself expand as a man when you've been put through the ringer, and who wouldn't want to come out of a challenging situation even stronger than before?
