And I think not dying is a positive thing but I have Lyme, and if more people knew how much it sucks there would be panic, but it isn't as contagious, you get it from tick bites and not breathing the air someone else breathed. But to me it sounds similar, a lowered quality of life and no cure.

I believe in some bigger authority to be very fair. So if you got this condition maybe you also have a talent you don't know of so far.

I e.g. got some so called "severe" psychic conditions but some rather unique talents as trade-off.

I guess that's a glass half full way to look at it. I do just think it makes sense to avoid getting incurable diseases. Tho then if you do unfortunately get one, make the best of it and try to survive.

Every thing that does not kill you makes you stronger. I just learned to believe in this.

Instead of looking at your pain and suffering as a deficit, i always try to fuel some of it into projects and efforts i am doing at this point in time.

And when you got "interesting" conditions you also have the chance to meet some "interesting" people, imo.

I hear you, there is no point in sitting and going woe is me. That being said I don't want to be foolish and not be proactive in avoiding these kinds of things, they objectively do not make you stronger.

Not physically stronger, but emotionally? Maybe. I know people who haven't been hurt worse than a stubbed toe, and their character shows it.
