Prompt 33 - What Doesn't Kill Me....
Prompt 33
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
What doesn't kill me? Yeah that's cheerful. I mean I'd like not to be killed yeah. It's not easy being a cop and working with Benny. In the past couple of years we've risked our lives over twenty four times. Yeah more than two dozen times. We're lucky not to have been killed. There's surviving something and then there's ending up risking your life for another crazy Mountie scheme. It's like Fraser has a death wish for both of us.
Sure, we've done all right so far but we've been shot, nearly drowned, nearly frozen like horse meat, nearly blown up and that's just the highlights. How is that supposed to make me stronger? It makes me crazy is what it does. You;d think I'd I've learned by now that Fraser is guaranteed to risk our lives but do I ever say no to him? No, I don't, I just let him risk our lives.
That's not strong is it?
Okay, so it makes me feel good when we beat the odds. Yeah, that's a good feeling. Am I stronger? What does that mean? It's not like I'm suddenly this guy who can lift a car or fly across rooftops. Maybe I'm a better cop is that stronger? Stronger..emotionally? Well, not saying no isn't strong. Maybe I don't want to say no, maybe I have a death wish. Or maybe I know that with Benny, we can take on anything and win.
