When we say "v'damyech chayee," "by your blood you shall live," in the Haggadah, we're referring to the dam of meilah and karbon pesach; however, it struck me that this can also be an endorsement (or rather source) for the popular maxim, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
The Jews went through g'henom in Mitzrayim, but they came out a strong nation, much stronger than when they entered the land. We go through so many hardships in life, but it is these situations that make us into who we are. If we are never challenged, we cannot grow.
